^ haha. You need to take the rear drum off, check the linings and wheel cylinders. clean it adjust it. then adjust the cable. easy enough if you fairly competent on the spanners. haynes manual should give you a detailed description.

Is the Peugeot diskbrake model handbrake not like a lot of other cars with the handbrake setup using a small drum and disks for normal braking.
