Looks like I need new calipers. A few months ago my hand brake became slack, I replaced the rear bearings, rear discs and pads, hit handbrake levers with a hammer and gave the calipers a good lubrication..... Everything was fine until last night, I got home and could hear a familiar snap crackle and pop sound coming from the rear wheel, it was very very hot and had the all familiar weird friction smell.
I have found a website but I can't figure out which ones on the page I need. As nobody bothers to explain the difference. Ones 70 quid the others 40.

Which ones do I need?

Go on the Euro Car Parts website and enter your Reg Number then look at the different calipers. Nothing special requires Bud :cool:

Ive done that mate, but they have two versions aswell. And it costs 300 for the pair according to my calculations :s

The difference seems to be the width.
I never knew there were two versions...so I suggest you measure the width of your exusting rear calipers and order the same ones again.
