Could well be a seized handbrake cable,or not so likely a seized brake
caliper,which would mean freeing off ,cleaning and new pads ,making
sure the backs are coated with coppaslip on assembly.
I have had 3 166s' never had a rear caliper seize ,but my last 02
plate was in need of a handbrake cable,relatively common on this
model.
