Changed pads calliper and discs. 
not happy with foot brake how much it goes down to the floor / yes it works but seems so low. 
how do I adjust to make more tension :

How do I tighten get tension and do I have to do it in both sides ??

Oh no this isnt the problem @NemesisUKi did bleed the brakes when I done it. The main foot brake is fine/ 

It’s  the hand brake the problem. The little tiny one. 
the park brake is the problem that goes all the way down

Sounds like you've backed the park brake shoes off to enable the old discs to come off, but not twiddled the adjuster up when you put the new discs on.

I had to put a screw into the discs and tighten till it clicked the discs were stuck and rusted on/

Is this a quick job to fix ?? How do I do it Please.

Did you put a screwdriver through a hole to turn a slotted adjuster back? Or did you not, and put a 10mm bolt in to a threaded hole to push against the hub as a puller? If you did the latter you may have unseated the brake shoes.

To add, by the amount of questions and posts you've put up, I think you ought to seek help from a garage. 

One can attempt most things, but brakes being a safety item need doing correctly first time.....

I used a bolt and pushed the disc off

Hi if you read my posting on 'new brake calliper what is this for ' I replied explaining the procedure for removing the rear disc and adjusting the handbrake on completion many people have been caught out with this ,If you carried this out BEFORE jacking the disc off all will be O K .If not you will have to remove the disc and inspect the shoes and springs, otherwise ,if the normal braking is working properly then the adjustment of the handbrake shoes will rectify your problem .Aim for 6-7 clicks on the pedal to set the brake

Thanks Dave 

Hand brake done and holding perfectly just right down to the floor/ yes there’s a grommet on the discs and behind a ⚙️ cog screwdriver in and do the clicks as you say. Should be a simple job (famous last words ) thanks Dave
