    its always the calipers, usually.. they are ally, rot like a rotting thing, so cheap though that they are service items. i will often advise fitting a pair along with new cables and discs and pads, depending on the state of everything. nothing worse than doing the calipers and a month later the cable snaps, but this is on customers cars that i only see when they are broken.

    Virtually 10,000 miles and 12 months from the date that the offside handbrake started sticking on the nearside caliper has displayed the same symptoms. No mucking about this time - replaced the NSR caliper which has sorted it. Learned my lesson last time. The car has now done 149,000 miles. Thought about replacing the discs and pads but I reckon they'll be good for another 40k.

    It is still on the original battery and clutch. Let it be said - I am still pleased with it.
