Default no rear brakes

I have a bug wagon with 4pot front and 2pot rear calipers had issues with the fronts so replaced them with New calipers from godspeed which work great but now I have no rear brakes seems strange for both calipers to seize all pistons. No abs faults showing, is it just coincidence or is there a balance valve that could be stuck? Any help greatly appreciated

have you bled the rear brakes when you fitted the fronts?

Yeah bled all calipers, don't think they've ever been that good but now just don't seem to be doing anything

There is a balance valve that sits next to the offside front strut. Looks like this...

if your getting fluid at the rear calipers then the bias valve will be working , so check the pistons are free , and the sliders can move as these are the usual culprits , if all seems ok to there , then it could be the pads that are not biting , do you know what pads are in the rear ?

Hope this helps
Cheers Ian
