how do i adjust my nissan primera 1.6 slx handbreak?

First check that the rear discs and pads are ok.

You need to lift the centre console to gain access to the adjuster: prise the trim from the base of the gear stick then remove the 6 screws holding the console in place - there are 2 at the front of the console just under the dash, 2 at the back of the console (slide the seats forward to gain access) and 2 under the plastic cover in front of the hand brake.

You should now be able to lift the centre console up to gain access to the adjuster, this is easier from the passenger seat. The adjuster is located at the base of the hand brake ratchet - it will make sense when you do it. Have fun.
