during a recent service i was told that my osf caliper was siezed up. So they put a another one on ( second hand). Its been about a week and ive noticed that the same thing has happened but worse, i get a strong smell of brake pad, bad steering wheel vibration at higher speeds and if i just crouch next to the wheel i can feel the heat from the brakes. So before i take it back to the garage and pay for another caliper (prob have to be 2nd hand again , ) is there anything i could do myself to try and get it un siezed?
Thanks in advance for any advice

The same thing happened to me last year on mine the nsf caliper seized to the extent the disc was glowing red.I used some penetrating fluid on the caliper piston and a C clamp to free the piston it lasted a while but eventually i had to replace the caliper.
I used GODSPEED for the exchange caliper and the service was prompt and reliable.
Hope this helps....

 

yea worth a go. Im going to get it changed at the end of the month. Just needed a quick fix untill then cheers

 

Get some stainless pistons from Ian at Godspeed.

 

yea i would but the car is only a non turbo and im not sure if im even going to keep it that long. Thanks though.
