if you can help a new member out plz the things due for a m,o,t

thanks guys

Sounds like the handbrake shoes are stuck to the inner drums of the rear discs and have separated from the backing plates - this happened to 'Dogslife' on here last week.

thanks welly i hope that is the problem is there any thing else that might cores it

Yep - looky here

thanks guys ill have a look when i get the car towed back

how easy is it to fix and what do i have to do to fix it

see my howto here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7219

The things that can be difficult are:

1. Removing the pins from the callipers if they're seized in. Needs a big hammer and punch if that's the case.
2. Removing the disc if the handbrake has worn a big lip inside
3. Fitting the stupid damn handbrake shoes with the stupid bloody springs...

Took me a couple of hours each side to do mine while sitting on the side of the road...
