Reliable? Yes :)
 

Just called the RAC:

"is that a car or a motorbike?"
"manual or automatic?"
"petrol or diesel?"

I tried my best not to laugh :LOL:

Just shows how reliable our cars really are :D lovely day for a spot of sunbathing on the side of the road ;)

Seized brake calliper for those that wish to know :)

haha :D

Did they fix it at the roadside or did it have to go to hospital for an operation?

Off to the hospital :) can't moan at a free lift ;)

How did you know from driving it that it was siezed Pip? Heat? Smoke? Pulling to one side?

Lol another one.

All of the above plus a lot of juddering :) I may be a girl but I am not that silly :p

Also had slight trouble a few days ago ;)

sorry to hear it. Happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I first noticed the caliper had seized when stopped at traffic lights on a hill and the car wasn't rolling backwards, drove a few hundred metres and car was stopping on its own. Managed to limp to the local garage but had to pay for a new caliper :(

Only pain in the arse is that I have only just painted the calipers as well! good job I haven't thrown the paint away :)

My one I had replaces a few weeks ago was silver like the ones I painted :)

On another note some guys just stopped, I thought they were going to see if I needed help but no.

"would you like to buy a brand new memory foam mattress?"

I of course said no and asked them if it was warm to which they replied...
"roasting"

Did they mean the weather?

What a pain! I ask becasue i've noticed that one of mine is slightly warmer than the others get. I'm surprised, as it's a daily driver, so never thought it would have the time to sieze.

It's in for it's MOT tomorrow, so hopefully they'll spot it if it is. The last time i took it in because of a squeaking at low speeds, the mechanic said it wasn't siezed, but was a little tighter than the other side.

How weird re: Memory foam mattress - I guess these salespersons all have targets to hit. :LOL:

SW mine is a daily drive too :)
02 model :) my first symptom was heat and then the smell :(
