had a chat with my next door neighbour today about her t reg 1.2 3 door clio .
a few days back i saw her struggling by her car and asked whats wrong ,her handbrake was locked and would not let the car move at all . i messed with the handbrake lever a few times and sorted the problem .
today she told me something rather weird ;
in some car park while she was reversing (after driving a few meters back),the rear wheels lock suddenly and the car stops .
is there a logical explanation to this problem or is she just trying to chat me up everytime she sees me out messing with my car ?
the car has ABS by the way |

Heh, deffo a problem with the rear brakes, wouldn't have thought it would be the ABS tho, as that releases the the brakes, not engages them, could be dodgy rear brake shoes. |

i suppose both wheels were locked ,in fact i am not sure she would be able to tell if they were the rear or front wheels
is there a pump running the ABS system like the power steering system ? |

shoes. The linings are bonded to the shoes but they break away. Its onyl clios and some saxos that I have found this prob on but its not rare. And they are all younger than 98 as well.
Starts off liek you described, handbrake off but it sticks. Then after a while the car moves then the rear wheels lock up. |
