I've had such a game on with the handbrake today, suspect a snapped/semi snapped cable you can wind the adjuster wheels right up solid & the lever still travels through the sunroof & has absolutely no feel to it

That's what I've already done & have done with many 75s & ZTs in the past with the perfect result but in this case the lever comes right up with no resistance, as I say even if you lock the rear adjustment up solid the lever is still floppy & lifeless, problem is whilst I'm pulling the lever I can't see what's going on at the back, I've looked down under the console & the thread length looks fine & the compensator pulls on the cables though not very evenly which leads me to suspect a snapped or at least stranded cable, I'll get an assistant & have a bit further investigation tomorrow
Colin (2Diesels) if you need cables it has now been confirmed by Xpart (and my own eyes) that the newly listed Handbrake Cable set from XPart - ZUA000860 does indeed include BOTH cables and not just the LH cable as listed on the Rimmers site
As others have said I'd change the compensator too
