The effing rear driver side brake has started to bind badly.driving to work this morning and felt that the car wasn't pulling as well as it was. got to work to find smoke belching from said brake pissed off is an understatement.praying I haven't warped the disc or destroyed the pads to badly as I can't bloody afford to buy them the feckers are less than a year old.

Fred68 has a spectacular aura aboutFred68 has a spectacular aura about
I had the same thing happen in November I didn't notice until the rear disc was white hot!! The disc ended up the shape of a crisp and pads were cooked too The caliper got a seal kit and a pair of drilled discs we fitted along with new pads! It cost me more than I wanted to spend rite before Xmass but stuff happens hopefully you'll get it sorted!! Good luck
