The rear brakes are not cable operated. Only the handbrake is.

the reason the rears arent working right is cos they wont be working hardly atall. i had my spring snap on the brake bias valve and suddenly the brakes went rubbish.

check your front brake pads, also check the fluid level anyway, you may have a leak somewhere.

I would have thought so. The more tension there is in the spring, the more force applied to the back. So by having no spring, perhaps you are not getting enough braking pressure at the back end?

A handbrake cant really be dangerous.

The switch for the light is actually on the handbrake handle, under the carpet. It could be loose.
