Cable snapped, took it to ATS today i know one of the guys down there and now i have had a new hand brake cable, two new rear drums, Getting 2 lower arms fitted tomoz and a new master cylinder!!!!!. my front wheels have too much backward and foward play so the lower arms are getting change, some chimp when changing my pads pushed the piston back into the caliper without releasing pressure and it all backed up into the master cylinder and bust the valves, my rear drums were warped and im just moaning for the £350 its cost me today!!!!

But its probably a good thing u got it done dude, coz the rear brakes on corsas are notorious for goin bad.....so its prob good on the safety side of things.
