What's the best option?

Recon?
Breakers?

Fenland haven't got one, 247breakers are coming up with silly prices -

Binding on. I can free it off by stamping on the brakes, but it then binds again within a couple of weeks. The pads on that side are wearing at twice the rate of the other side.

A guy at work has offered to do clean it for me if I get some new pads. Is it possible to get some new rubber seals?

40 fecking quid for a bag of penny rubber seals though! Even the dealer said they couldn't believe the price

A friend at work is going to have a look at it for me this week and put some new rear pads on. Hopefully we'll be able to clean it up enough to get it working. If the seals are completely shot I'll have to change them.
