So My car is lowered quite alot, and because of this back sometimes swings out under heaving braking. I was told I need to adjust rear bias, its just a nut? where is this located?

I dont think u can adjust it, its a spring on the rear beam that adjusts braking depending on what weight is on the rear beam. When you lower the car it then thinks theres more weight as the suspension is lower ( i think )
Heard of people cleaning them and freeing them up as they can seize sometimes. Iv never had dealings with one, my 1.2 corsa didnt have one

As Mertin says, it's a spring on an automatic adjuster. I've just unhooked mine from the rear beam.

they old way to get the rear bias down is to take the spring of the load senseing valve but you will need it for mot or just dont leave braking to late lol
