I just had this done, near side rear was getting very hot. Cost less than two hundred quid and they included replacement disc and pad as well as the caliper, because I had only recently had discs and pads fitted. Geoff |

Is it getting hotter than the others? It could be there is no copper grease on the pads and they are just squealing ? Previously..

Thats not bad at all Geoff, the calipers are cheap enough and easy to swap over but the discs can be a bit more tricky as you have to reset the epb.

Oddly enough an old mechanic guy told me to take it to a specific Indy who can wind back the EPB …..
