I'm at my wits end here!
Our Escort 1.8 Diesel failed the MOT with a lazy drivers side rear brake. We have replaced the cylinder (which was also replaced less than six months ago due to a leak, along with new shoes). Unfortunately with the foot brake full on the wheel is still turnable by hand. The new cylinder is working but will not sustain a grip on the drum.
My thoughts are that the load balancing unit may be at fault, but I have no experience on these. Any ideas or solutions or previous experiences would be most welcome. Thanks.
