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.
dont remember seeing a hole in the disc .
or should i say he said he dont remember seeing a hole in the dics. i think i will be going over to have a look for myself and doing the job.
Good luck.
