View Full Version : Rear brakes not working

My rear brakes are not working and I have completely renewed pistons, and all seals.

The basic problem is that fluid does not appear to be getting back there.

Is there a proportioning valve or similar cut off that may be turned off...

Or is there another reason?

Any ideas welcome please.

Thanks

Paul

Forgot to add - it is a 1989 RRC.

Sorry

Well as no one has had any ideas on this despite 26 views of this thread, the answer is there is a valve on the right hand inner wing - a proportioning valve.

I have brake fluid on the feed side of this on both input lines, but nothing coming out at the single line to the rear axle.

So that is the answer to the problem guys - faulty proportiong valve p/n NTC6868. Roversnorth have just ordered 10 of these and I have one of these on back order so there are 9 left and they should be ordered Monday from the UK and recieved Friday by them... or at least that is what I have been told!

I would hope to get mine in my hand by a week on Wednesday and fitted by Friday week.

New valve now fitted and I again have rear brakes!
