OP here.

Hi
Yesterday I noticed that my car was ever so slightly 'lazy' when cranking. Very difficult to describe, but it just didn't have the same urgency as normal.

OP here.

Thanks.
I'm not planning to replace any friction parts unless someone comes along to tell me these are shot... I'm replacing a carrier on one side and a caliper on the other. Both rear.
Taking it ... |

I've had everything to bits again - and checked both sides properly this time. I've discovered that the driver's side caliper piston is seized solid, the the carrier and pins are movin ... |

Hi all.
I've recently realised I've got some binding going on on the driver-side rear brake. Last weekend I took the caliper off, gave everything a really good clean and got rid of the considerable ... |

Might sound daft, but have you checked the seatbelt isn't blocking the door? (That's my favourite trick!)

Thanks gents.
