    How do you adjust the cable for the handbrake on a UK 1999 Voyager
    (prob 1997 USA spec)?

    The first thing to try is to find an empty space where you can safely drive
    in reverse and then hit the brakes. Many cars have self adjusting rear
    brakes that adjust when the car is being driven in reverse. Do this a few
    times and then see if the brake is working. If nothing changes, you need
    to take up the slack in the cable. How this is done will depend on your
    car. In some cars you can do this with an adjusting screw right at the
    parking brake handle. On others you have to get under the car and adjust
    it near the rear brakes.
