Kinda thought it wouldn't happen on mine but it has, my passenger front caliper has seized so badly the disc went blue!! God damn it.

It actually happened for the first time on friday which i then greased up the sliding pins etc but obviously wasn't enough to stop it.

 

They say things come in 3's - wonder who the third person is!?!?

Started shuddering on a Manchester - Doncaster run, by the time I arrived the offending wheel was covered in brake dust and smoke was puthering out, oh dear.

Got in touch with Rob at Garage R who opened up specially (today, Sunday) and took it in. So a big thanks for helpin me out and for the load of the silver bullet - I'd forgotten what it's like to have to change down to get up hills!

So another recommendation for those boys.

 

i'll be ordering a pair of fully refurbed set off ebay tomorrow however £200 is hard to swallow!

 

let me check the prices before you order Robin. Sure they're cheaper than that

 

ok thanks Rob

I have been looking at AZ carparts in Wakefield.

 

cheapest i could find them was £120 delivered each for the rears, and about £80 for the front - local garage charges around £40 to fit !

 

These are the ones i am looking at getting.

Only the passenger side is sezied but might as well change both as the drivers side will no doubt seize at a latrer date.

I'll be fitting them myself so that'll save a few quid.

 

spotted these but no sure if i have to pay an extra £30 and then to get the £30 back as a refund when i send them back my old calipers.

I've got a front pair going spare...make me an reasonable offer and they're yours!

 

Got a reply from the ebay guy, £30 refund on the old calipers so it means a pair of new calipers for £139.99.

US - what condition are yours in?
