Hi everyone,

A little background to the problem. I bought the rangie about 3 months ago, with low pads allround. I left it a little late to change the rear offside set and the outer pad wore out and scored the disk all other pads had worn evenly. I have changed the rear disks and pads and front pads.

Now i am getting VERY hot rear offside disk and both front. I used assembly grease, the pistons retracted ok, after a little persuasion (front offside and rear offside). It also sounds like they are binding if you put the windows down.

Any ideas, as i dont want to replace 4x calipers.

Kind regards, Luke

You might have the bite the bullet and change all 4 calipers. A common problem on the FFRR but the calipers are not too expensive

Bit the bullit. Not TOO horiffic price (best price i could find) . Im just not sure why they where worse when the pads where changed.

The outer edge of the piston will rust over time when there is little left on the pads. This may affect the retraction negatively when new (and thicker) pads are mounted. ----------

I am just in the process of having the NSR caliper replaced at MD exactly the same symptoms, the outside pad had worn out and the other 3 on the rear were fine. The other side has has the seal slightly damaged at some point or other in the past, but it's working fine at the moment. I think I would be pushing my luck to get this changed as it is still working properly. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Mmmm - all four at once? Seems highly implausible to me. 2 at once... okay if the car sat for a bit. 4?

I agree steve. The only thing is i have changed the pads, so pushed the pistons back in. I can understand the o/s/r as i thought that was binding and wanted to see if cleaning it up and new pads would help, but the fronts seemed fine.
