If you move this thread to the Cinqs&Seis Tech section it will get more attention and a possible response by the rear brake king Pete M.

**** happens!

Have a read of the handbrakes faq in the cinq technical section. If you're still stuck (no pun intended) do shout back.

oh, and welcome to the forum, fella!

If it's your drum brakes (rear brakes) it could be either your linkages or your brake cylinders have seized and will need replacing.

Black '95 Cinquecento Sporting: De-Badged tailgate, K&N 57i, Eon2's, Abarth style spoiler with brake light, Sony MD Head unit, Sony Xplod 220W 6x9s, Kenwood 10cm in dash, Sony Xplod 760W Amp & a 12" Pioneer Sub where my spare wheel should be ;-)

Either that or the handrake cable has started to fray inside the outer casing just in front of the rear drums. Replace cable and actuators anyway, and take it from there.

Yeah, check those cylinders! I only noticed one cylinder was sticking when I saw the difference in tyre wear on the rear tyres!
