Rubbish rear brakes!!
Hi
hope someone cane help, im beating my head against a wall now.
My car failed its MOT on very poor rear brake reading on both hand and foot brake, i fitted new shoes, cylinder and cleaned up the brakes and bleed the system. i have adjusted the shoes and the hand brake is working fine but the foot brake is still rubbish?
any ideas what it could be?

Cheers for the advice, but i have already done this and no change, have they got a brake balance control fitted on the mk1? could this be the problem?

Mine failed on poor rear brakes. Has your car been lowered and does it have a brake compensator (spring unit just in front of NSR wheel). These need adjusting to take the slack up in the spring if your car has been lowered. Worth checking !
