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

Seized or badly adjusted handbrake cable. Fairly cheap and easy on most cars.0
