Just for info - the XR4 (or any ABS equipped Fiesta) does not have pressure limiters fitted in the rear brake lines . This is because brake bias (front to rear) is left to the ABS to sort out rather than having balanced basic brake design. If the ABS were to be de-activated for any reason (even a blown fuse) the brake system will have far too much rear bias. This causes rear wheel lockup and the car will spin if you apply the brakes hard.
