   When you say no brakes, how do you know this? Has it been on brake rollers or can you feel it on the road?

   Do saxo's have load sensing valves? i didnt think so. Have a look around the rear wheels and see if there is any brake fluid. If there is you have a wheel cylinder that is proberly leaking. Try bleeding the rear brakes?
