Default Sticking rear caliper..help!!

Hello

I replaced my rear discs and pads at the weekend (1997 Forester S/tb) but the driver's side disc is bloody hot after a run. I took it to a local garage and they said it all looks fine but there might some grit in the caliper making it stick.

So I either need a new caplier (single pot sliding) or a rebuild kit by friday (off to France next week)

Ideas, options or any help gratefully recieved.

Thanks

Mark
