Well, make sure its slack and dont do anything further to the cable until the shoes are set right and the adjusters working.

The "teeth" on the adjuster ratchets are very shallow and quite soft steel. One they slip, then they always slip.
I have rescued similar ones on Renaults by recutting the teeth with a triangular needle file.

Been out and tried it again this time adjusting the handbrake cable by dropping the exhaust and finding the adjuster.

It is still the same, it just takes 4 clicks to engage handbrake rather than 6.  One side is nice and tight the other seems to 'reset' the tension inside the drum on the teeth.

I'm off to peugeot to get a new set of drum internals tomorrow.  What a trip down memory lane that will be *shudder*

Don't forget the Hub nuts too.
