jack a rear wheel up and using a 17mm socket adjust the bolt in bottom front of back plate till shoes grab then back off till drum spins freely ,then if necessary adjust the cable at lever end, theres 2 flats were it comes through you can adjustwith a spanner or undo the 2 10mm headed bolts holding lever bracket to the tunnel and pull bracket up and adjust from under anti clockwise to remove slack in cableHi
My disco. 2 td5 failed MOT for the excessive moment of hand brake. I know this issue is not
complicated but I have not done this. Can anyone tell me how to shorten travel distance of hand brake?
Thanks!

obviously hand brake has to be off to adjust it, you adjust to lock the rum then back off just enough till it turns freelyI have screwed the bolt clockwise until tightened, then screwed anti-clockwise 1.5 turn as D2 manual said, I still feel drum (front plate?) tight. Do I need to release hand brake first?
prise the moulded plastic cover from top of lever undo the e clip pull handle off ,you can then remove the plastic cover just clipped on then remove consoleI opened a gap from brake console, there is bolt not like brake adjuster, but a brake cable cross round black rubber see attached picView attachment 182693
Still struggling to remove the console
once console is out of the way undo the 2 bolts holding lever bracket to tunnel you adjust the cable on under side , the rubber you see poking through the bracket sits over a screwable cap on end of the cableThanks!, I pulled out the knob straight up, there is no adjuster (bolt) like D1, 2004 D2 may have different design.
some cables can be adjusted from the top, some like yours cant so you have to undo bracket and pull it upI double checked it, the black rubber sits on fixed round base, there is no way to screw using a wench, a 13mm bolt may be fixing the bracket. I don't know if it is possible to adjust cable under car or maybe remove more under the console.
yes undo the 2 bolts holding bracket to the tunnel you ca the access the adjuster on the cable which is clear ly visible in the picI found one in ebay like mine, there is bolt under round base, I can not find the bracket for sale, maybe undo the bracket to access the bolt
