Now that sounds like a plan

I think tapper888 might have hit the nail on the head  I had a fail last year for exact same thing... was pulling ok on n/s but very weak on o/s... took it to garage and the fella discovered the star wheel adjuster (2nd to last pic) http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152564750 was seized! 2 or 3 good shunts with a flat head screwdriver and it started adjusting up  other side needed slight adjustment, but again only through discs, not cable adjusters. Was told that the underbody adjusters are last resort for cable stretch only... Garage charged total £25 (cash deal obviously)

Yep, ensure there is some slack in the cable first, adjust both  drum brakes and then use the central adjuster only to take out some of the slack in the cable if it's excessive.

If that doesn't work, strip down both sides and see what's going on.
