Well got in my car yesterday and my foot went to the floor, due to a recent car break in i thought someone had carried on trying to be funny...

But checked brake fluid its all gone, and the rear drums have fluid everywhere, so cars in my garage so i could get fluid off alloys etc, took one of the drums off and theres fluid everywhere and rear shoes are soaked!

My friend told me my rear cylinders and shoes need doing and at worst my master cylinder??

Anyone help ??

rear cylinders, master cylinder should be fine

rear cylinders are a nightmare, if you've not done them before, you've got no chance, you'll need to get some help

I had this with my corsa - it was down to a rear cylinder, took it to a garage who told that they should both be changed at the same time, was fine once i had it done
