	take the lip off the inside of the drum and replace the springs. Also check the adjuster fork

	ugh.. rear brakes are messy bastids to work on the pages of my haynes thats the rear brakes atre on are stuck together with grease :lol: its probably a spring after coming off....

	um well not really the rear axle was changed and the brake line on that side wasnt done up properly and so leaked... this was noticed and fixed at MOT a couple of months ago and its been getting dodgy in last month or so but no changes since the MOT

	Na, it's normal. Mine does it and I know a few people who have had the same problem. Probably something WD40 will solve as it is probably caused by a part rusting - but it's only the handbrake. If it does it all the time though then you have a problem :P

	bugger im gonna get it looked at in service in a couple of weeks but i was hoping to not have a hefty bill.....

	could be the adjuster spring has came off.. common fault either that or it needs replaced...

	I decided to get my rears looked at while the car was in... Big old groove in the rear drums and shoes were a tad worn... I think they were the original 118k items :lol:

	You need to check both really. Could be one isn't doing enough or the other adjusted up too much.
myke	posted on 21st Nov 04 at 18:59
	i'd guess that you need to replace the cylinder. just a guess though.....
AdiSRI	posted on 21st Nov 04 at 18:52
	wat can cause this... its the same side that had a leaking brake line at MOT time...
