General Rear brake shoes

[Bingley Baz]

Hi. I have a 2006 panda multijet. Last night I jumped in the car, released the handbrake, went about 2 yards then the rear offside wheel locked up. It would reverse ok but would lock up going forward. Stripped it down this morning and the lining had come off one of the shoes which was jamming the wheel. I have a euro car parts 10 mins away so a quick call and I got a set of shoes for £26.12. Took me a couple of hours but all done now.

Mine did that
20005 and Bosch shoes.

Mine were Bosch too.

Personally I think there should have been a recall

Several a year just on here.

Luckily they have all failed at slow speed.

Mine also had the liner detached - common failing - but fortunately jammed up only in reverse.

My indie had to grind the drum off though, so I ended up with complete brake and drum overhaul.

Good for another 100k miles now!
