Pulling up in a garage about 5 min drive from my house... My passenger was wandering what that burny smell was, we blamed the 1950 car that was pulled up next to us.... I get out to put petrol in my car and see my rear wheel is smoking like a bonfire :shock:

Just had to fill up and laugh ( just my luck ) and drive back home !

Sooo think my Rear passenger Caliper is seized.

Wanted then either try and unseize them if that's possible or replacement Calipers !

Please, Thank you !

Ah yay! You have the same problem I had recently. Try greasing the pins and making sure stuff works there. If not, re-furb calliper for £70 should do ya :)
