Default frst rear brake compensators

or as ford call them Fiesta RS Turbo-Brake Light Laden Valve. (they control the braking force on the rear when you have a heavy load in the car) Basically mine are fooked, 1 is seized and the other side is leaking and the £236.57 quote from fordpartsuk is rather steap (for what they are imo) !!!!!!!!
any 1 know a cheaper alternative/supplier?

part numbers : 6181561 6181557

any help would be greatly appreciated! cheers! Ben

you could get some off a mk3.5 1.1 or as such as there all the same mate, dont think there just for the FRST.

try motor factors anyway, someone might be able to get you some.

better still, junk the ABS as its a load of crap anyway
