You can lock the rear wheel with the handbrake? I call BS, this is a peugeot handbrake system

the bs not leaking or anything else wrong there. Halfords the place who keep failing it. told them they not getting the work, think they mugging me off, then they found 2 items that wernt on the original ticket.
after it get all checked again, I going to make a formal compliant about them, they seem to touting for trade too me.

Is it the handbrake or the footbrake efficiency it's failing on?

Wheel cylinders could be seized on the rear. Thats what I had on my 206. Handbrake worked fine but little effort from the pedal.

As above, i assume they're failing the rear service brake, yeah? If so, definitely have a look at your wheel cylinders.

car passed on 4th mot, had to take to a mate to get sorted, talk about a real pain to adjust rear brakes hate them, looks like I might put discs on back next year if find some cheap
