They are crap even at the best of times, as said new parts, clean the carriers up and it should be OK

There is a guide here on how to adjust them PROPERLY, you must follow the procedure for this, 306 is a bit different to normal cars for adjusting.

Be worth noting if it's still crap you may well need to replace the cables too

peal the rubber boot back on the calliper hand brake arm and lube up the rusty pivit points, work the lube in and it should bring the handbrake back too life as it normally seizes in the pulled direction so the adjusters dont take up
