Find out what's wrong with the handbrake on the other side, and fix it!

personally I would have a look at the suspect side,if there was nothing visually out of order like cables stretched or damaged start dismantling them,its not as daunting as it can sound,when you get them apart you then have the benefit of one working unit and one not, so you can at least make comparisons, its probably not the easy fix you were hoping for but cables and fixings would be my first place to check,hope you get it sorted,Boss
