Brakes problem
1996 Vauxhall Corsa Manual

Hi there can anyone help me, I have a 1996 corsa. I brought it not long ago and the mot was done in oct (before i got the car).

While I have had the car everything has been fine, but the other day i went to go out in it and when I was trying to reverse the rear of the car was lifting up (as if i was trying to reverse with hand brake on or trying to reverse up a curb etc) then after a couple of re tries it seamed ok and reversed and dorve away fine.

I then got a few mins down the road and had to stop at a red light, then as I went to pull away on the green light the car would not pull away properly (almost like trying to pull away in 3rd gear etc) Does anyone have any ideas on what this problem could be? And if so is it a big/major and costly job?

Kind Regards

Sounds exactly like one of the rear brake shoe liners has become loose and is getting trapped .. you need to have the rear brake shoe's replaced !
