If it is the same as mine then there is a small hub and shoe fitted within
the disc brakes and it is these, not the disc that are controlled by the
handbrake. According to Mr Haynes you remove a plug on the disc which
gives access to a knurled ring on the cylinder (the front one) which you
tighten up by pushing it around using a flat bladed screwdriver. Tighten
it up until the disc cannot be turned then slack off 5 or 6 notches.
Repeat for the other wheel.
