   Hi guys could someone please put up a picture of the rear brakes. I've been told my pads are in wrong and after a short drive today I noticed one pad had slipped and almost fallen out

   Hi chap
   
   Pics below are of the offside of my mk1 1.4sx. Nearside is the exact reverse in terms of assembling the adjuster onto the shoe.
   
   Did you do the shoes yourself? Are you sure you have the right ones? There's quite a few different types unfortunately. Which bit is it that has detached?
   
   Hope these pics help:
   
   
   
   
   Part number for the shoes:
   
   
   What a shagged cylinder looks like (2x blown seals) which is why mine were apart in the first place.

   Meh, drums are more powerful than disks anyway, just crap at shedding heat. Besides most of the braking is done on the front anyway.

   Yup, figured i'd leave em up anyways. Only useful for people with those type of shoes though. I found out the hard way that there's more than 1 type of shoe for the 1.4!
   
   Yeah, not so good when the shoes and cylinders are knackered though
