I am having problems with my rear breaks locking up when I break on my 1.6i Corsa Sport. I have been told my local garage that this could be due to the rear compensator valve being 'Stuck-open'.
Obviously I can’t drive the car with the rear breaks locking up so I need to get it sorted a.s.a.p. has anyone had a similar problem, or knows if this is what is causing the problem?
If you’re reading this and you are breaking a 1.6i Corsa Sport please U2U me.
Cheers

I always remove the compensator spring and cable tie the compensator bracket down. that solves the problem nicely

check the adjustment on the compensator and they can be freed off

4. Check that a load sensing valve is present and connected, if it is a standard item
4. Evidence that a load sensing valve has been removed or disconnected from a vehicle where it is known to have been fitted as standard.
its an mot failure to remove the load compensator valve aswell.

if its removed then its not an mot failure. only has to work if one is present.
