Brake!

[Tizer]

came back from work lastnight and tried to drive the car, put the handbrake down as you do but whilst im reversing the backend just rises and wont move anywhere then i hear a loud cloink.
any ideas as i now cant drive the car to the garage to fix it!

btw its a 106 with rear drum brakes.

Cable may of snapped?!?!

I would check to see if there is any tension in the cable.

Maybe it is a loose shoe inside one of the drums ... I had that problem on my 2002 1.5 DCI. The rear tire was totally blocked.

Frozen cable?

the cable is very stiff. i can hardly pull up the handbrake

Seized rear shoes. If they're old & starting to crack, they'll come off the metal itself, move round for about a yard, then jam up. Mk2 Clios do it quite a bit.
