Default Car failed inspection due to e-brake not holding car

Hi,
As the title on my post states, my car failed its yearly inspection since the care moves, ever slow slowly, when the e-brake is on. Is there any adjustment for the e-brake from the e-brake handle? It is so close to holding that I was hoping to get away with removing the tires and making the adjustment there?
Thanks,
Jomo

Main adjuster is under the car at the rear end and can be tightened up but it's unlikely this alone will fix it and you'll probably have to investigate whole mechanism at each wheel. It's an absolute ball ache to set it all up and balance both wheels correctly. The only good thing is that parts are all cheap and it all can be done, just takes time.
