It could simply be that the caliper has seized, but if the new one doesn't even look the same... Then what is there to discuss? In which case I'm inclined to agree with Tbs original thoughts :-\

That's what my money's on

Slightly off topic, re the vented discs and calipers, is this considered a worthwhile upgrade? :y

I considered this for the Old Girl, after all you would, wouldn't you? It sounds cool, to start with, but looking at the amount of time and headaches vented rear discs seem to cause those who's cars have them, I think I'll stick to my standard solid rears. It's all marketing, after all, just like them bumping up the alloy wheel sizes over the years  ;)

They're no more or less troublesome than solid discs, you just need to be careful when ordering parts... The only real 'issue' is that the discs are more expensive...  :y
