I think ive solved the problem. Went a wee run and passenger disc is not any hotter than the drivers side, both calipers are cold where as yesterday the calpiper was roasting.
The only thing is, my brake pedal is very spongie and i have to press the brake alot harder than before.
When i asked the question about the bleeding nipple i had already loosened it so will i have to bleed the brakes now ?

Bleed it. Go buy a 1 man bleed kit from a motor factors and follow the very easy instructions

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"
