Well im used to getting some comedy looks, but its always funny when you see the look of horror on a pedestrian's face as you pull up to a set of lights with a barage of smoke pouring out of your n/s/f wheel!

So, all in all after taking a closer look i now have a very seized piston in that caliper, and the drivers side one isnt too great either.

Does anyone who has done a brake upgrade have a set of prefacelift front calipers for sale? You would be saving my life if you do, as car is definately not drivable at the moment!

Cheers John.
Yeah ive tried to return the piston. one of them will go back, but the other wont budge. Even if you block the piston that moves when fully in, then pump the pedal, it wont even move out. So def knackered.
