Yeah has to be a phase 1 caliper.
So I fitted the spring to the rear caliper and saw that the handbrake cable was almost completely cut, it was holding with only 2 wires.

When I was done bleeding the rear calipers of the car, I pull the handbrake to lift the front part of the car, however the handbrake cable snapped and it's cut now. (this is the phase 2 caliper)

However, the handbrake doesn't hold the car, I don't think that the phase 1 caliper handbrake is doing anything since it doesn't hold and I checked the cable where it's connected to the caliper that is in good condidition.



What I need to do is order a new cable for the phase 2 caliper in the rear, and check why the phase 1 handbrake doesn't work.
