how to tighten the hand brake on a ford focus 03 plate 1.6 lx?

nd the nut that is under the gaitor but that just seems to have reduced the amount of clicks the lever makes when raised. how can i tighten the cable so the hand brake has a bit more grip when it is applied? please e mail me if you can help at david_howes01@hotmail.com

thank you

you must remove the central console inside your car, and at the botoom of your handbrake lever there is a screw that need to be tighten. that's for ford focus model 2000-2005 for what i know

rear brakes are self adjusting so asuming they are ok,the hbrake adjustment is on the cable under the car.nut and locknut system
