Clio 172 Cup - one dead rear brake?
Discussion
I have a Clio 172 Cup which has a strange braking issue - one of the rear brakes has very little effect.
It failed its MOT for this last year. The handbrake’s fine, it’s equal on both wheels, but the footbrake has almost no effect on the NSR corner. I swapped the brake compensator, caliper and flexi hoses but none made any difference. Eventually the MOT man got bored of me turning up every day for a retest and passed it anyway - think he used the test they can do in a moving vehicle.
Anyway, I’d like to actually fix the issue and wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
The Cup doesn’t have ABS and has a diagonally split system. The system bleeds easily, without any obvious obstruction.
Many thanks.
