« on: 22 November 2023, 19:05:26 »ThanksIt's a wonder the only thing sticking is a caliper. Cars need a good run now and again.
I've had her from 6 months old (and a manual
Rest assured, all tucked up in heated garage now for next 12 months.
I think I may have a sticky front N/S caliper (again) as I changed it a good few years ago now and noted inside edge of disk rust marks so I need to investigate. I fitted new origial GM front Brake and Pad kit (93175466) about 7 years ago, and hardly worn as probably done 5k on them.
Is there a new direct replacement for new Caplier ? (as a pair of course) which can simply bolt straight on and available new ? Probably want to keep OEM discs (but would put a new set on anyhow) , so can maintain original alloys ? or can I get a piston and seal refurbishment kit ?
Interested on others experiences and thoughts,
I'll pop wheel off and investigate at weekend,
TIA.
She gets a run every couple of weeks so all things warm up and stretch her legs And then to the Shell Station to top her off with Shell V Power

refurb kits are available including new pistons ,slide pins and bushes etc (these can swell and cause binding if copper slip or other INCORRECT lubrication is used )
I was going to check slide pins and pads at weekend. I did them myself, but worth a check.
What is the "Lube of Choice" for the pins ?

Thanks
I've had her from 6 months old (and a manual) and tried to keep her all original, other than the Opel front grille which I could not resist as stumbled across it one day on Inter-web brand new in GM original parts box !!!! I prefer the Opel grill, she looks a bit more meaner

Is it still looking as good today?
I only wondered as that is the same photo that you've posted at MOT time for the last few years!! Not being critical of course, just an observation!
Here are some pics from couple months ago
