Got oulton park comming up near to the end of jan and just spend ?110 on new pads, ?50 new disks brake fluid etc and now the O/S caliper has deicided to stop working.

So ive had a fun day taking the thing apart everything seems to be moving ok, seals seemed ok but for whatever reason the caliper isnt sitting directly in the middle of the caliper causing two pistons to travel further than the other side. Anyways this is causing the back end to kick out pretty dam badly esp at speed. The cars used everyday and ive sold my old setup so mother ****ing money wasted and the ****ing thing still isnt right. . .

Stupid ****ing xsara.... all i want it brakes that work ffs is that too much to ask grrrrrr

:wtf:

all sorted now. These are brembo 4 pots from a 406 Coupe. Had a brake test today and they are all fine. Its the abs which is causing the problems not the brakes.. they have bedded in well now ready for oulton park on the 29th.

Just got a new clutch and flywheel ;) and a lighter bottom pulley and some parts to remove the air con :D Going to be busy this weekend as well.

I'm happy with her again now :D
