Default Hand Brake and Leak from somewhere

Hey all,

the hand brake need to be tightened as it doesnt hold on the slightest of hills, is this and easy to do or should i just take it to somewhere like a F1 Centre?

i have vadis and looks kind of complicated!

also,

the raditor or something is leaking, hvae just been on holiday and done over 600 miles, and for some odd reason the water level is lower than what it was, i no its hot so the water does get used, but after stopping and then looking at the car after a while you can see water on the floor, you cant really tell where its come from thou?

its not the rad tapy thing. and i have already put radweld in the radiotor.

any help will be greatly appricated!

cheers

on the rear calipers there is a blank plug with 5mm allen key head you need to remove it and inside that there's another 4mm adjusting allen key tighten it untill wheel locks then back it off till wheel spins free. the blank is on the inside of the caliper so no need to remove wheel just jack up the car
