They said the same and suggested the calipers may be faulty so off i went the the spares shop to be told if they were not fitted in the way as discribed and bled before the handbrake cable is connected they will not work and the warranty will be void. So from wanting to change my discs and pads i have paid nearly £300 for calipers and mounting brackets and maybe more. I now have to have the car up on jacks for a week while i send these calipers back to be checked. As you can prob tell i aint to happy at the mo mainly because i can only sit and look at my car sat on the drive instead of burning round the streets. The guy who fitted the calipers said its the first time he has heard of this and has never had a problem fitting them before has anybody else had this problem or is it just me if i had hair i'd have pulled it out by now.

Oh bud thats really crappy
One thing I have never been that happy with on the ZS180 is the brakes. I would be partly tempted to throw the lot back at the garages face and give Intelligent Tuning a call and go with their 'upgrade' kit for £575.....it's a proper 4 pot calliper set up with dust seals and easy to use. I looked at this kit before opting for their huge brake kit which I never bought after inheriting a family
money kinda went elsewhere lol
