Handbrake Trouble

The handbrake on my van hardly works at all. I've checked the adjuster under the van and it is currently at full tightness. Has anyone got any ideas of anything else taht could be causing the problem??

Thanks

Tim.

First adjust the rear brake shoes, only then should you tighten the cable.

Watch this video to help you.       Mark.
