My mrs Mondeo 18TD has failed its MOT on handbrake efficiency. We had to change the n/s rear brake cylinder and brake shoes on both sides as well.

According to the book there is no adjustment available. I thought after the work I did the handbrake would sort itself out but it hasn't. Bare in mind I only did the repairs today and only have till Saturday for a re-test as well as normal working hours.

Will it adjust itself in time for the re-test?

Can anyone give me advice?
