miko_supra Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 What brakes do you have? 2 pot or 4 pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Not a clue what theyve done wrong, its hardly a difficult job to do having done 2 sets of uk spec calipers and a set on a Scooby with no dramas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 This is a strange one, especially with new pistons too. Are the sliding rods that connect the two parts of the caliper all greased up and good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjp Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Could it be the master cylinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I would phone the garage that did the job and ask them, we will all be guesing as we havent a clue what they have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjp Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sorted, the arse didn't put the new seal kit in properly. But on the upside there was no charge for fitting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Where's that thread with that troll in it saying that we should leave important car components like brakes to professionals at garages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im glad you got it sorted but i cant see how they got this wrong, a chimp with a banana and half an o level could do this, i'd change garages mate if they cant get this simple job right.

The bit i cant see is how you can fit the seals incorrectly, im no God at mechanics but a brake caliper really isnt difficult and its pretty obvious what goes where.
