My thanks to forum member Jugs for providing the basic instructions on how to do this a couple of weeks ago. Before this adjustment i could only get one very tight click when applying the handbrake. Now i can easily get 3-4 clicks.

First i removed the rubber gator by pulling it out from underneath the centre console and turning it inside out. Then slowly pulling it all off the handbrake lever. It takes a couple of minutes of pushing and pulling but slowly it comes off. Perhaps adding a touch of baby oil to the plastic part of the handbrake lever would make this even easier.

This pic shows the adjustment nut. I loosened this by about 2 full turns.

I just thought i would share this information for anyone else who might experience the same problem.
