   Back end has come round to many times now and pissing me off! Front wheels are always locking up and back end slides round, ended up in a ditch the other week.
   Tonight a wanker on a moped raked out in front of me clearly didnt have the power had to brake hard back end swung round yet again.
   
   Think needs new pads? or something on the back, the front has got new discs on it from 2 month ago could these still be bedding in they have done 800 miles though. Just starting to getting annoying now eveytime i have a bit of fun

   If the car is lowered do a search for break bias valve, also check a few posts down this thread...http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56921

   Yeh I was about to say that. The brake bias may need to be adjusted. However, back end driving is fun

   If you're getting it serviced cos of whats been said in your other thread get them to look at the breaks aswell.

    I'd check that the rear brakes were working correctly.. a sticking drum / caliper at the back messes things up a treat.
