Easy to reattach but you will have to remove the rear discs and check the bottom part of the adjuster. Mind you, if you have slackened of the nut in the car, you will have to adjust it, tighten it, some to get the handbrake to work.

How well adjusted are the handbrake shoes in the drum, if these are not adjusted enough and are still "closed" then again you will get movement in the car but perhaps no "engagement" of the shoes against the drum

Thanks for reply, but its not that, cables are attached, plus as mentioned both rear brake shoes were fully adjusted by moving adjuster through disc holes.

It feels as though it has become disconnected at the handbrake adjuster within the center consul???
