Well,my mate who is an MOT tester did a bit of an inspection on my car today,looks good underneath.

All wheel bearings were fine and bottom ball joints seemed good.He did find though that the drivers front caliper is stuck on causing the pads to wear down more than the other side,disc is worn bad aswell due to the excess heat.Got to try and release the caliper now,if not then a new caliper it will have to be.

New front discs and pads now also required.

Thanks.Lee.

If you can release the caliper just need slide pins will have it like new, common fault on these cars.

Yes I seen the guide on LOC about the pins and dust seals,best get them and do both front calipers I think,even though only the driver side has the problem right now.Is it worth getting a caliper refurb kit of seals etc?

Thanks.Lee.
