Haynes manual talks of slacking adjuster nut but which one is it? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/mike65/handbrakeadjusternut.jpg Mike.

From the picture Mike, the hose entering the caliper at the top of the picture houses a cable, whereas the lower hose seems to be an hydraulic one. So I'd guess that it's the nut at the top you want to slacken.

Someone who's actually worked with a car brake before may know better though.

Just talked a chap and he said "calliper" without much hesitation.
