Zafira Hand Brake promlem?

My car has just failed it MOT due to the handbrake. When its fully applied its still not tought enough. Upon looking there is no clear way to get to the cable. can any one give me a bit of advice (step by step would be amazing)

you will have to get the drums off for a look at the shoes,check there is no oil/brake fluid contamination,try and grind the lip on the outer edge of the drum,this lets you adjust the shoes up accurately,replace shoes if worn,get the shoes adjusted first before you worry about the h/brake cable,you should just have a slight resistance after adjusting shoes,if your cable is still slack,think adjustment is under the h/brake lever shroud,10mm nut,may need a double depth socket for this,good luck
