iv got it adusted so that there is a drag on disc when hand brake if off but when u put handbrake on when wheels are of the ground it holds but on a hill it dont

If its new shoes and discs they will need to bed in then be re adjusted, I have seen a cable being tight at the front and the rear moving with no effect on braking being caused by the retaining springs being too tight on the backing plate

Where are u located?

The shoes need to bed in on the drum face as it is smooth to start with and the friction surface will rough it up

We are in bishopbriggs, plenty of rear impreza brake shoes done without problem, the poll has a spring over one end if that is missing it may cause the problem

The shoes may not be centering on the hub when setting, causing one to hold the bell when jacked up, but under the weight of the car give way.
