Video tutorial

Note that the vehicle shown in the uploaded tutorial video is a Ford Ka, but since this procedure is common to many cars, including the Ford Fiesta mk5, it can be considered applicable. All you need is a suitable socket spanner, with which, after removing the leather gaiter at the base of the handbrake lever, you will adjust the tension of the handbrake cable by tightening or loosening it via the adjustment nut. It is advisable to carry out tests gradually to find the exact point.
