Hi I just bought a Citroen C3 2005 model 1.4 HDI, I served it today and put new brake shoes in the back, but now when I adjusted the handbrake only the right rear wheel brakes when the handbrake is puled up the left rear wheel still turns free. I read something about the auto adjuster, but I am not sure what I should check and how to adjust it any advice would be appreciated.

You guys website already helped me with a few other problems, thanks.

You probably didn't put the shoes in correctly. Double check everything.

A Haynes Manual for the C3 (click here) can help a great deal when doing servicing.
