    search as it comes up quite often, i had this problem and found it was the rear compensator valve that was seized and needed free-ing off. also try see if any of the calipers are sticking as a sticking caliper may lock up the rear wheels

    never heard of anything like that before. and on the rallye reg people swap disc beams for drums all the time.
