     Did you try moving the shoes - screwdriver jammed against backplate lip at 3 o'clock and the try to force the shoes towards the 9 o'clock position by levering, then screwdriver at 9 o'clock to force the shoes the opposite way - as this will check for seized cylinders. The other question would be have you got glazed shoes on 1 side, possibly due to handbrake cable holding shoes against drum - this can sometimes be cured by taking shine off by rubbing with glass paper.

    Will try it tomorrow mate cheers

    Taker off drums and inspect shoes/wheel cylinders.

    At a guess, you have a wheel cylinder brake fluid leak on one side which has contaminated the friction material of the shoe(s), making that side work badly.

    Is the wheel cylinder easy to replace? Guy who did mot said to check shoes 1st?
