I havn't really used my mini since the summer and went to take it out this morning for a spin, as i got to the end of the road I applied the brakes and the rears locked up. scared the crap out of me as I didn't think it was going to stop!

Rear limiter valve on the bulkhead sticking, quite common esp if the car only gets used occasionally.

it was icey, but i used it in the wet earlier in the year and noticed it locked up then only at the rear. I didn't think too much of it until now.

Yes, the valve on the bulkhead as per my post. Give it a whack with a hammer and try again, once they start to stick though they generally will do every time.

I'm running 8.4's. So I wouldn't think I do have wrong rears. They were brand new with the rest. Do drum front braked cars have larger rear cylinders than the 8.4" disc cars? I know the cooper s needs smaller cylinders

Retroracer - again they are new, that's not to say they havnt collapsed - I'll take a look. But I'm thinking it's the valve.
