Car vibrates like mad when braking - rear right hand corner - need help asap

[Simeon]

If you take the pads out you'll pop the piston the first time you press the brakes leaving you in a worse situation. Have you got any molegrips in the car? You could put them on the flexi to render the caliper inoperable then limp it home. Or get a mate to bring you some bolts..

I was thinking to crimp the pipes and remove the calliper all together but it Is so risky but dom is right they don't do a lot but like people say just get a mate to bring some bolts up or pay to get toed home good luck mate

Out of the many ways you might have a big disaster by driving this car home, I think the loose caliper getting jammed between the wheel and disk/suspension is most likely. This will lock the rear wheel and probably cause a spin out.

If you luck is really bad the wheel will break up and possibly cause a roll over.

If you don't have £100 for AA membership (and yes, they will recover you straight away) then call your Mum, best mate, partner whatever and get a loan from them.

Cheers for all the replies, and yeah, a bodge job was out of the question really. I've managed to use a family members breakdown service, so hopefully they'll fix it on the spot, and failing that, I'll have one hell of a journey back home to Essex...

Is the right answer. Well done and thanks from me actually.

If they fix it on the spot I would like to know how. Having the right spec bolts in the right size in the back of the van..?

I reckon it will be the long journey so get him to stop off on the way for a bottle of wine or a pack of beer (or whatever) for when you get home...

Haha, will do, and I told them over the phone what I need to fix the car, as it is only a 10 minute fix, so it would save them a lot of time and money to just to fix it on the spot. Only time can tell now.
