Vectra Handbrake USELESS!

I would agree with above I suspect the handbrake cable has been over tensioned

Has it just got one? The BMW uses two - direct from the drum to the handbrake so no compensating mechanism. To set from the word go, you slacken the cables at the handbrake end, adjust the shoes correctly then the cable to give the right number of clicks before the shoes start contact. Still crap, though. ;-)
