My rear drums need replacing as the fluid has started to leak from where the line meet the drum and two other places.
Can anyone tell me if these Drum Brakes will fit my car.
I own a 1.4 petrol, 54 with ABS
Thank you

No idea on fit (discs all around on mine...)
If the drums are in otherwise good condition, one can normally change just the cylinder, like you can replace the caliper on a disc brake.
The two other places, would those be the ends of the cylinder inside the drum, or places outside, like hose/pipe connections?
If inside, you're likely to have to contaminated the lining on the shoes, so would need new shoes, even if the existing ones are otherwise good. Of course unless VERY fresh, I'd say to replace the shoes along with the drum...

Best to check exact dimensions and the types of drums on this website
You won't go wrong with rear as much as it's difficult to match front pads and disks (e.g. Lucas vs Bosch etc), but better safe than sorry (note red warning the banner on that website, for your vehicle)
If it's leaking through in-between the drum and back plate, replacing those parts won't address the cause of leak (your eurocarparts link is showing only hub+drum - the rotary part, where I doubt anything else fits but the bearing - so I guess that itself wouldn't cause leaks) Check what leaks precisely:

Hi.
Thanks for this info, the exploded view has defiantly given me an idea of what else has gone in this drum.
I've taken a pic of the inside of the drum to show where the fluid is coming from.
I've numbered them for easy reference.
Number four is where the fluid is coming out of the bottom between the two parts of the drum.
I think im going to need a whole new unit and not just the shoes and cylinder.
