Default 2000 - 2002 POLO Handbrake question

The handbrake travel on the 2000 polo I have just bought seems rather
lenghty, should it be like that or does it need adjusting? Anyone any
knowledge on how to adjust them anyway please?

Thanks Richard.

pull out the rear ash tray (behind the handbrake), get a spanner and tighten
:-D something like that anyway.

Go to your nearest steepest hill/slope apply handbrake go to rear of car and
see if you can push it downhill, if you cannot do not worry about
adjustment, all the ones I sell seem to have between 4 and 10 clicks, never
had one roll away.
