Answer

What rights do passengers have after a technical fault on a flight to Mallorca?

If a technical fault causes a delay or diversion, passengers may have rights to care, rebooking and sometimes compensation, depending on the circumstances. Not every mechanical problem automatically leads to compensation, because safety-related incidents are handled differently from ordinary delays. It is sensible to ask the airline for a written explanation and check the booking conditions carefully.
