Thanks for the replies guy's

So what needs to happen now is for the rear calipers to be stripped and cleaned out and a new set of pads fitted. The irony of this is that last December '07 it had it's 2 year service from a main dealer and looking at the brakes (front & back) none have been removed for a proper inspection, cleaning & lubricating sliding areas etc.

Just on a different note, is there a recommended time / mileage for a cam belt change (2.0 FSI)? Only now it's comming up to 4 years old and perhaps I need to start thinking about doing this as well.
