Maybe ;)
Cam cover gasket, £15 ;) Original part too :lol:

how!, i pay 6.50 at my local dealership!

do you know some one?

Yeah 20L.

Got the lacquer and the paint can for £3.53 for the pair ;) :lol:

If you look at the rear beam on the drives side there is a bracket wiht a bolt through it, this hold a spirng which connects to the bias adjuster, 2 13mm spaner to undo it and then slide it so thespring goes slack, then y9ou need to put somethign under the adjuster arm to stop it gettign pushed back up.

Of course brakign on a corer will make it worse as you are already putting a lateral acceleration on the car before you touch the brakes, anyways, brakes in to a corner, accel out at the apex.

Unfortently I don't.but I 'm sure someone here does....Anyone???

cheers daimo, was the paint code 20L right for the car?

is your car lowered??cause when the corsa is lowered u need to get the brake bias valve recalibrated as the valve thinks there is weight in the rear,therefore the rear brakes harder than the front,causing the car to step out at the rear.

Mine worked ok. Try it, if it doesnt make things better put it back on.

the car is lowered but the braking was the same. when i brake on a corner it's even worse.

Daimo, will the brakes be ok with the springs off?

also make sure to free the autoadjuster on the drums at the bakc then have to pump away till the drums shoes are flush to the drum, if one side is closeer than the other you can get an imbalance

yes they are, see the hanyes for moreinfo

do you just have to adjust the shoes then if one is closer to than other?

is the auto adjuster in the drums?

cool, cheers guys, not sure what it is, gonna give the brakes a major ovhaul like daimo said, check all the things he has listed,clean and replacing disks and pads and then see how ther are then.

Daimo, do you mean you pull the bias valve up or down? Because the more load in the boot, the more the rear brakes. I thought yo uare meant to put the bias valve out as much as possible?
Corsa E-tec, sounds like one of yor ufront calipers is not workign aswell as the other, I suspect it's the front left that's causeing the issue.

I had this on mine.

Things to check.

Bolts behined the back of the drum. Ensure they are all tight to the backing plate!

Brake bias spring, drivers side at the back enxt to the spare wheel well (if u've got it still ;) ) check the springs and tight still.

Remove drums, clean all the dust out.

tbh, i never really cured this problem (backend used to lock up too) until i had the rear discs fitted.

when i brake i keep loosing the rear end, mostly goes out to the left, would that be becouse my right drum is applying more pressure or the left shoes are worn and causing the rear to slide out to the left?

the disc are worn and being replaced this weekend.

any ideas why this would be doing this?

cheers!
