Splendid

A stubby spanner/ratchet spanner or deep socket (13mm I think) would be best on the handbrake adjuster- normal socket isn't deep enough in my experience.

Handbrake adjustment.   That adjustment above prop shaft.  Fiddly, yep but do-able with patience and sixth turn each time.  by the way, where did you take it.

Mine passed last week hi-point, pin green

I should really have spent more time trying to do the adjustment on the handbrake, but I lost patience after 15 mins of trying to get a deep 13mm socket on the nut. Perhaps I need more patience, but then.... they didn't even give me an advisory on it despite that fact that it doesn't hold the car stationary! (perhaps the fact that I have an autobox meant it was ignored?)

I took mine to Kipling Motors in Hemel - very friendly and helpful - decided to give me an advisory on the exhaust even when it should really have failed. They are right next door to my work so dead handy. I'd recommend them - only £38 too.
