While doing my search on google for my water ingress issue, i came across this post....
Ford Puma 1997 to 1999Problem: Water ingress in rear wheel cylinder.

Solution: This can cause sticking brakes and excessive noise from the rear and/or rear wheel block. Installing a rubber gasket around the wheel cylinder should alleviate the problem.
********************************
I remember reading a post on here a few weeks back where a member washed their car, then the next day tried to drive off but the brakes stuck that much he didn't move anywhere? Well myself and some others replied to say that our brakes do stick a little the day off washing the car when first releasing the handbrake.

It sounds like the above post is the reason for this happening? Surely this can't be good. So i wondered if someone could explain, possibly with some pics, where this other gromit is that needs sealing. Rear wheel cylinder?don't actually know what 1 is but sounds like it needs fixing,lol.

Many thanks in advance again.
