i dont know if any of you guys have suffered this problem...i have what i think is a sticky brake caliper. braking is very poor and as such car is off the road for a bit. does anyone know how expensive this will be to fix? am i going to have to go direct to nissan dealer to get the kit to release the pistons in the calipers? i guess they will charge around the £50 an hr :(

any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated

 

also..my pads are getting worn so is it worth replacing them at the same time to save two trips to car docs? so what pads are best? im thinking red stuff but if any others are better??

 

cheers guys!!

give zed world a call bud he can sort this for you

DIY calliper pistons or piston may of seized and maybe a dust seal needs replacing,seal kits are about £30,its a case of lubricating the pistons and pressing them back in,with master cyl lid off repeat a few times until piston moves freely.if the piston/s have seized and will not budge with the above technique then an overhaul is required,should be ok though

pads apparently the new red stuff pads are good,but so are porterfield,mintex,ferodo all reasonably priced starting around £60 a pair

is there a contact number for zed world? is it gonna be expensive job?!
