Default Weird brake problem (VTi Civic)

Quick query for you Honda experts ....... I'm in the UK and have a 1998 VTi Civic hatch (equivalent of your JDM SiR).

It keeps failing our MOT test over here showing not enough pressure to the rear passenger side brake under foot braking. The front brakes and handbrake are totally fine.

so far I've :

1) Changed rear caliper
2) Changed pads
3) Changed fluid and bled system
4) Changed flexi-hose to passenger rear caliper

..... and no difference.

Any more ideas?

Where is this valve, near the master cylinder in the engine or actually near the rear of the car?

It's in the engine bay.

Follow the hard brake lines from the master cylinder and they go into the proportioning valve.
