Technical rear brakes not working

[jonboy739]

just had that other sedi in for mot today and it failed, rear brakes are not working with foot brake but they are working fine with handbrake does anybody know what could be the problem? brake fluid level is sound and front ones are spot on. scratching my head on this one. it also needs welding in the same 2 places as mine, must be common places to go and one of the rear shockers is leaking and that was all it failed on.

rear bias adjuster?



not actually done it myself though, think it's a case of freeing it up if no rear braking at all. spray liberally with WD40 and trying and work it free to ensure it can move. then attach weight etc.

i 'think' it's above the exhaust by the rear wheel.

if you need anymore instructions on it try alfa155.org i think you've already registered? or was that someone else? but anyway they've got good knowledge of the rear bias valve on there lol.
