Just typical,
I have booked an MOT for monday and was checking the car over when I spotted a drip or two from the rear drivers side caliper. I rebuilt them about 18 months ago and except for shuffling about the back yard the car has only done 30 miles.
Luckily when I did the callipers I decided that I never wanted to repeat the experience. So I have a spare set on stand by ready to go on.
I was wondering though if anyone else had problems with the kits. I must say I took the cheapest option saving about £10 for the 4 caliper kits. I bought them from a company which was sponsoring a page or so in Practical classics. I was a bit disappoionted when they arrieved because they weren't Lucas or lockheed. they were in sealable plastic pouches, they didn't have red grease or directions, but were complete. If I had known they were what they were I would have just got the kits from lucas as I was happy with the kits I got form wadhams for the master cylinder and servo which were lucas and lockheed.
I will strip the caliper down and find out why it has burst a seal. I suppose it is a lesson in buying good quality parts.
