Easiest way to test is to drive the car a little and have a bottle of water with you. When the shudders happen pull over when you can and pour some water onto each of the rear discs. The one that steams is the burgerd one |

Will give it a try, might just be the discs, they look pretty awful. |

Quite often the calipers only stick when the pads are worn down and the piston comes a long way out, my fronts have done this twice and I must get round to changing the calipers (£43 from ECP) One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Thats what I was quoted but i do have an account, I just paid £90 for a bosch S5 battery that someone paid £98 for with a 25% discount code, so I reckon I must get 30% discount, maybe they havce gone up a bit or they are using diff make calipers. my quote was a while ago.

Calipers for my 2008my are 72.18 less discount codes, so about £50 but you have to pay a £24 deposit and bring in ypur old ones to get that price.

Ok, took a bottle of water with me and after 20 miles or so on country roads gave them a squirt. Passenger side hot, some steam but probably par for the course. Drivers side...like dipping a red hot horse shoe in a bucket of water, so seems like that is the answer.

There are some cheap ones on ebay for about £50 IIRC.

If your confident, and wouldn't need to disconnect the caliper from the fluid line if its the guides that are stuck..

I had a spare few minutes yesterday so whipped the wheel off and had a nose about.

Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago the best way I can describe the noise/vibration is like leaving your rear window open when driving at speed down the M/Way if that makes sense? I wasn't able to get the work done myself as this all happened on a sun and as I work away all week so my wife uses it with our wee boy anyway put it into a local garage and cost £140 which I thought was very good F**K IT you only live once |

Thats it exactly.....that pressure noise/feeling when just one window is open......and mine squeaks on the 'stuck' side when reversing.

Gunson Eezibleed for bleeding the brakes, I'm still amazed at how simple they are to use and the results are fantastic |

I've got some fuel line so may cut a short length and just ask an assistant to gently push the peddle down as i bleed it the old way |
