At the rear of the car (drivers side) Next to the shock of the back
suspension there is a little mechanism with a spring ..

Can anyone tell me what this does and if it needs replacing after a while ?

Mine seems to be a bit loose and possibly causing a rattle

Cheers

Mark

When I took my 306 to the local garage for a brake fluid leak, they
first checked the back brakes (assumed it was brake cylinder) and found
that this regulator was stuck. They fixed this (along with the leak,
which turned out to be a front hose - doh, I could have fixed that!),
and since then the brake pedal has been a bit odd. If I have my foot
very lightly on the brake and the car goes over a bump then the brake
pedal drops slightly. It's like the bump is moving the regulator
slightly. There's no difference in brake performance, and I'm used to it
now. Bit weird for a bit though.
