Handbrake strange one
#1
Rainbow 
I've had all sorts of problems with the handbrake and calipers etc. So I've changed the pads, discs, handbrake cables and calipers all new. I a just the calipers by hand until the pistens nearly touches the pads. I then tighten up the cable in the car. 

The brakes were better but handbrake still not right after doing those. 

So next..............

The brake servo started playing up hissing so got a new one that fixed that problem and the brakes felt good and abs works now. The handbrake cable seems to of streched gone worse I think with all the problems.

So today I got another new set of handbrake cables. So now the car holds great facing forward upwards on a hill can see the car rear rise with the handbrake holding That good news.

The car facing forward downhill it better then before but don't seem to hold as well?

How can it work one way but not the other confused?
