Probably too may *clicks* on the handbreak when applied, Have you tried adjusting the cable under the car ?

[john.ness]

ye its adjusted to the max

[tazz666]

adjust the handbrake shoes in the drum and then adjust the cable

[Callyman]

As the guys have said above, loosen the cable and set up the adjusters through the access hole in the drum, one side is easier to do than the other because of the shape of the teeth. If you dont know how to do it, removing the drum will give you an idea of how it works in there. Haynes manual does explain the process.
