Default Handbrake Cable....

hi, my s2 went for mot today and it failed on handbrake reading zero on the tester. the handbrake does have alot of play/slack in it. the guy said i need a new cable but he hasnt actually checked it out. could it just need adjusting up? the cable hasnt snapped its just not working properly and has alot of slack. where do i get a new cable from if i need a new one? cheers

Might be worth a check to see if the end has come off the shoe inside the drum if its doing nothing.
