jack the car up at the back , undo the nuts on the exhaust heatshields and slide them down the front and you should see the adjuster nut, just tighten that up and keep trying the handbrake.

As far as i can remember mine was held on by a few nuts but it had been off before so it might have been missing some fasteners.
