The star-wheel in the parking brake mechanism inside the top-hat needs to be adjusted properly. The equalising adjustment where the two cables meet should not be adjusted except to take up some slack in the cables.

You get to the star wheel by removing one of the lug bolts and inserting a screwdriver to make the adjustment. Rotate the tire to locate the star wheel, using a flashlight to see where it is of course.
