Hi Jag, Bought the replacement parts today;
New rear NS caliper £70.
Front & rear pads (Ferodo) £30.
Bought a new fan belt (alternator) while I was at it £4.
Is it just me or does anyone else get a perverse sort of pleasure replacing worn out parts???

Lol, only when saving a fortune on garage bill's!
Was the calipers exchange units?

Yeah it is an exchange unit but looks absolutely brand new to me and I mean brand new!
In a bit of a dilemma now, the NS rear was by far the worst culprit but after replacing the front pads last night I took the car for a quick run and when I got back the NS was stone cold but the OS was quite warm.
I have disconnected the handbrake at the calipers to see if that makes a difference, still can't get my head round the fact they stick sometimes then will be ok for a while then start sticking again. I feel a change of motor coming on.

Oooh, yes, Exy.
I just love the slightly oily smell when I open the box of parts, then I lovingly caress the new components, feeling the silky smoothness of their shiny new metal, unsullied by the cruel actions of other men.
After fitting the parts I love to idly toss away the old components, then I roll over, light a cigarette and eventually fall into a deep, contented slumber.
I won't go into detail over the actual fitting process as I'm sure the mods and swear filter would have a fit but I'll just say that plenty of lubrication is usually a must.
