            Symptoms that caused you to repair the driver front brake caliper please.

            I think my brakes need a rebuild.

            Btw, well sorted car.

              The caliper was seizing a bit and making some rubbing noises. My SA said it needed to be replaced. They are not terribly expensive.

                        I have some engine photos, but the lighting is poor. Waiting for improved weathers around here before taking some better photos!
