todays story!

so took the car to the mot this morning and found it was fine until about half way there....the front brake started sticking again! clearly wd40'in the pistons was only a temp solution! So i turned round and spent an hour swapping back to my original brakes

less braking performance but at least it stops in a straight line!

So she passed!

Soo happy and soo great to drive now, just need to get my tracking castor and camber setup now to perfect it and find the niggles (the first of which was that my clutch pedal came up so much that i couldn't remove my foot from it due to my knee hitting the steering wheel )

Thanks for all advice and support so far

Glad that she passed!!

Let that be a lesson to you if your gonna do a job do it properly. Now you can strip down the caliper, get the pistons out, replace the seals and depending on the condition replace the pistons if nessacery.

any ideas on where i can acquire a rebuild kit?

thanks

Just as a little side note; I got my tracking done at Track Road and Race this evening.
It was well out, huge margin between the two but got it sorted and now it feels completely different!
Handles better (especially now I'm not on the bump stops) and just seems to drive a bit nicer.

Didn't cost much at all and has made a very noticeable difference so would always recommend getting it sorted if you know it's a bit out.

Anyway... congrats on the MOT! Great feeling eh
