Happened to me mate, 1.2 d'mique.

New brake shoes needed, 75 quid inc labour.

Common problem apparently with clios and 206's. Renault cost cutters using adhesive instead of rivets, causing a part of the brake to become loose or something along those lines.

Use the handbrake? My dads scenic used to do it, not sure if that was drums or disks though.

as said before the brake linings have shed, chances are you wont be able to pull the hub off, you will need to rotate the drum in the opposite direction to the way you were travelling... i had to use a long breaker bar and scaffold tube to move mine when my mk2 shed its linings.

[Simon_172]

What years the Clio mate, Renault now do an unlimited mileage 4 year warranty on Clio rear drums, due to the amount of problems they've had with them.

[Simon_172]

[Simon_172]

[guysy]

Does this happen when handbreak turns are done too much then?
