ldv covoy handbrake wont hold up hill how do i fix it?

my ldv 400 convoy handbrake wont hold uphill ive tried adjusting rear brakes and hand brake no joy any idea whats wrong
MICHAEL KANE, November 2012
first thing is to make sure ratchet teeth are all intact, then release all adjustment from cable,then adjust rear shoes [if a clicking cant be heard/felt when adjusting,the adjuster plates may be broken] after shoes have been adjusted the cable can be adjusted.i think its about 5 clicks for lever with black push button and about 3 clicks for grey button.
