Hmmm.....not so sure Simon 
My Cerb (hopeless) and then the Chim was never the best despite many attempts. 
But, once I had fitted the Mondeo calipers (with a bit of a modification to get them to work) the handbrake easily passed the last MOT (truthfully I'll have you know).
Well I will take that Pepsi challenge any hill you like My Cerb (hopeless) and then the Chim was never the best despite many attempts.

Can you expand on the Mondeo calipers and how you adapted them please ? My Cerb (hopeless) and then the Chim was never the best despite many attempts.

If all is working correctly, first try and back off the handbrake adjuster so the handbrake comes on at a higher point.
I find this gives more leverage and therefore the handbrake is more effective. Mine clicks on at about four clicks.
When it used to come on at two clicks it was definitely less effective.
