Bigjeeze Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 On my Mrs Mk1 I have had a great Christmas. Firsat the brakes failed - She was driving normally turned a corner and the pedal went to the floor!. It pumped up OK and when I checked it the rear pads were down almost to the metal and the nearside caliper was jammed fully extended. I used the wind back tool but it was very stiff and the bellows has shredded - so as soon as GSF get the calipers in stock I will replace both calipers as well as the discs and pads. A flush and re fill of Brake fluid is also in order. Calipers only Quote

Bigjeeze Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Posted January 9, 2010 soz big cant help you m8,what does the tis suggest?? Hi Gregers - thanks for replying - I can't believe no one has done this. The TIS says you have to move the power steering pump etc to get at the t stat - I was hoping there was an easy way but as no one has come bakc I 'll just have to to do it the hard way.
