Terra Dog Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi all, a couple of months ago I had a rear drivers side caliper sieze on whilst on holiday. So after a tow home etc I tested the vehicle to see if it was still siezed and it had freed itself off. So about six weeks ago I decided to change the rear discs and pads which I did myself so I knew it was done correctly, greasing up everything as it should be and using graphite grease on the sliding pins. Then today when I arrived home from a short journey of about 3 miles I noticed the same drivers side rear had stuck on again??? Any ideas as to where I start in order to fix the problem once and for all so it does'nt get stuck on again? Regards TD Just to add it's 52 plate disco Td5.

bear Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi TD, It sounds like it's the actual piston siezing as you've freed up the slide pins (assuming they're not bent/damaged) Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Dog Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hi Griff, just to let you know I had the caliper changed today and it was the piston that was seized and corroded. Cheers TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
