Suffering from un even wear on my missus 1.8 ls
One set of pads is almost half again worn as the other side , plus it has started to make a grinding noise under heavy braking,
Is this a sign of another defective caliper?
The car does high miles i.e 120 mile daily although is lighlty loaded with only one passenger!

It certainly sounds as though the caliper is sticking.Possibly blasting it with brake cleaner and working it in and out will free it up,otherwise replacement will be needed.

Has one already failed? Is it the same one as before?

Possibly , the car has already had a new rear O/s Caliper fitted last Spring although the wear is taking place on the other side!
Getting fed up with Vauxhall Cars! Just one thing after another!

Is it a Vectra B or C, as they have different rear brake set ups. I did hear from a fitter at a main dealer that the Vectra C eats rear pads faster than the fronts for some reason.
