how do you adjust the handbrake on my 54 20 ltr vectra?

dose the center console have to be removed on my 54 plate vauxhall vectra 20 ltr petrol to adjust the handbrake or is the adjustment under the vehicle

I have the same problem myself. I have been told there is no adjustment and it is done automaticaly. However, I have spoken to Vauxhall who say they will adjust it for £45 but wont cough to telling me how (jobsworth's). I recon there is adjustment under the car by removing the center exhaust box, it is situated above this. I have with great difficulty had the center console out but no visable means of adjustment there.
The reason I am not convinced there is no adjustment & it is not done automaticaly is when in the past I have had it serviced by Vauxhall, the handbrake has less travel than before it went in. Now I have fitted new original rear pads my handbrake has much travel.
