Hi guys car failed mot on passenger handbrake being weak. When jacked up you could literally turn it with your hands.

Its an Hdi with rear discs so I adjusted the tension on both cables which improved it a bit but still a massive imbalance.

When the rear is jacked up and no brakes applied the drivers wheel spins freely but the passager one only spins 1 turn then stops.

Am I looking at a handbrake cable issue or something to do with caliper?
