Slipping handbrake

Every few months my hand brake needs re-adjusting as it keeps slipping.
Is this a common fault on older models and does anyone know if there is a permenant solution that will sort it out once and for all? (ie:new parts or modifications to the adjustment mechanism)
Any info much appreciated,
Chris

flickering speedometers again!

I want to try to replace the sender(sensor) at the gear box to sort out the problem of my speedo which flickers and gives random speeds that don't relate to the speed you are actually travelling at!
Anyone know where I can get hold of a new one at a reasonable price?
thanks,
Chris
