Turbohead, when I bought the car, parking brakes was working as it should. After ah ran off the road in a drain, that is when the parking brakes start working like crap. I had my mechanic adjust from the drum & from the hand brake leaver, still under strain it moves a lot then stops, depending on d incline. If the car is uphill parking brakes wouldn't hold for nothing.
The mechanic says last resort is to change the parking brake shoes although it seems to me to have half of its life still eh. Got a second opinion and that mechanic said everything looking fine.
I had a friend who had the same problem and they changed the shoes and it was solved.
