To access the handbrake compensator it’s easier with the centre console out (try this first) it should let you see the issue.

If not you need to lift the carpet at the rear of the front seats to access the Tim cover over the top of the compensator, once the tin cover is removed you should be able to see the issue.

Hello again....I tend to agree with your assessment, car is on axle stands at the moment. But as stated cannot apply handbrake as it is totally free moving as is the adjuster, no tension on handbrake whatsoever making it totally useless,with no ability to tension cables.
To remove the center consul is a dockyard job, but Im convinced that's where the problem lies.
I'm fully prepared to cut an access hole in the center consul to access compensator?
Trouble is I have no idea as to where to cut in order to access brake cables?
Do not understand your comment regarding tin cover?
Are you saying there is a tin cover in the car that I can remove to access cables?

I'm thinking that by my easing off adjuster that somehow the handbrake adjuster fitment/cable has come adrift?

How does the cable connect to the handbrake inside the car?

Sorry to bombard you with questions, but removing center consul is not an option,
