Ouch...

Sticky pads the most likely cause... presume all scrubbed up nicely and coated in copperslip now...

The rears on the four pots don't really do anything, hence getting full of crud and sticking. V6s, especially the 3.2 driven hard, get through rear pads almost as quickly as the fronts. This is because the TC depends on them, summat which won't concern a four pot owner

That's what they look like. As long as it stops it's ok

I've had comments about rusty rear discs for about the last 3 or 4 MOT's, FatherT's 2.2 same, still stops fine.

Yeah they were full of crap

I gave them a good wire brushing off where the pads sit. Also you saying sticky pads I did have to hit one with a hammer to loose it off

It's nearly always the inners on the rear brakes that are stuck/rusted in - been the same since the Carlton days.  Rear pads are the same right through the range, Carlton, Omega 4 and 6 pot - only difference on the Omegas is longer pins on the vented disc variants.
