#1: Locking Up?! Author: Holderness, Location: Paull, Near HullPosted: Thu Mar 07, 2013 12:48 pm ---- On the way home tonight, the car seemed to lock the RHR wheel up and shove me sideways a bit.
Luckily it was at a lowish (!) speed so it wasn't that much of an issue to correct it, but i then tried to make it do it on an open quiet road and it still does it.
Am i right in thinking that the Brake Load Valve may be seized up?
Is it worth having a go with the old faithful WD-40 to see what it does?
Anyone else had an issue like this?
Cheers!

I take it you have drums, sounds like they need a service!
#3: Re: Locking Up?! Author: Holderness, Location: Paull, Near HullPosted: Thu Mar 07, 2013 4:59 pm ---- RHR been Right Hand Rear?
Drums have been serviced around 2k miles ago bit I don't know that they will have become worn in such a short time.
After doing a google, there is a few other Peugeot forums that arnt 206 specific that point towards the Valve.
Ill investigate at the weekend.

#5: Re: Locking Up?! Author: Holderness, Location: Paull, Near HullPosted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 3:34 am ---- Yeah the handbrake seems even, thats what is confusing me.
Ill whip the drums off and see whats what on saturday.

#7: Re: Locking Up?! Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 7:57 pm ---- Could be brake load valve then.
#8: Re: Locking Up?! Author: Holderness, Location: Paull, Near HullPosted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 5:36 am ---- Yeah I'm going to do it tomorrow along with the drop links.
Then I can start making a search for some cheap sport wings and bumpers.
