MOT failure - rear parking brake (1992 Nissan Micra)

[kingmidas1962]

My beloved banger has failed its MOT on just one thing - 'offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort'

Having done a bit of internet research to see what it all meant I thought it didn't seem too bad - booked it back in to the garage to have the work done at the weekend....is there anyone out there experienced enough in car mechanics to tell me if its going to cost me an arm and a leg, or just an arm? :confused:

Thanks all - this is my first post...be gentle...

if the foot brake is fine then i would have thought just a cable adjustment not to dear

[kingmidas1962]

no reference to the footbrake function at all - and the brakes certainly sem to work pretty well - so hopefully good news! Thx :T

Seized or badly adjusted handbrake cable. Fairly cheap and easy on most cars.
