After my gf out the country for 2 months, she try to start up her 206. She manage to start up the car easily but notice there's some problem when she try to drive the car.
The rear drum brakes was stuck, we need to reversed and drive foward the car for a few times before the rear drum brakes released itself. Another problem will be squeeky brake noise and pedal vibration when pressing the brake pedal. I did notice there's rust on the disc brake and just wonder if anyone encounter similar situation?
Last time when she drive the car, it is snowing and there's salt all over the roads. Will this be the cause?
Will be appreciated if anyone has a solution for this problem. Cheers!

give it a good 10-20 mile drive brake quite hard the pads proberly need bedding in again if the disc is rusty.. if the rust on them is proper bad then it would be advised to take them off an take a grinder to them to clean them up but me personally just give it a long drive it needs it by the sound of things

thats normal after sitting for two months, just drive it and the brakes will quickly return to normal.
