On her mazda the front right brake pipe is starting to perish and on the jag the rear pads were below the legal limit which is a surprise since they were changed last year so nothing too big, got new pads and new pipe for 44 quid and they get the job of replacing them, the jag has an electronic handbrake and whilst I could do it I don't really have the will to be fucking around on the driveway in the wet/cold 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pads on the Jag have worn down that quick is the caliper seizing up ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very big possibility, I always use the auto release with the handbrake and I'm going to bet that it's slightly on the sticky side and doesn't quite release the brakes properly so they could well be on ever so slightly without me realising, if so then a 4 way caliper rebuild would be on the way to make sure they are working properly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is the most likely culprit, it does make a slight knock when the brakes release so it is probably that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campgrounds are quiet and if no wind, pretty much the whole valley is quiet and peaceful. In fact, on Saturday night, me and two other guys were the noisiest thing in the campground.
