Got out of car, checked wheel bearing all ok, but frt rh disc was smoking abit so i guess must be a piston seized. Have read through the forum here, anyone had this recently and what was their solution, i would imagine the whole caliper will be hard to remove from the disc but once off i can lube it up right? Typical for this to happen last day of work before xmas!!!! Help please, will tackle at lunchtime today, thanks. Clamp the brake pipe and undo a couple of bolts. You can try doing a recondition of the caliper, but I could never get mine to behave properly so I just went to Brakes International *LINK* and got some reconditioned calipers from them. They have been fine ever since. I think they were around £70ea. Your better off going for a fully reconed caliper i'm afraid. Brakes international will sort you out for around £80ish pounds but their will also be a surcharge on top of this wich will be fefunded once you send you old unit back to them. You can call them on -01706-666-999 
They have covered less than 800 miles so still have plenty left in them. £25 and their yours? I brought a Caliper Recon kit and new pistons from Brakes Int. Turned out it was a perished dust boot which had, in turn, allowed loads of cr@p to get onto the piston and rust it. The kit came with all new parts, however, the rusted piston was a real b!tch to get out!! 
If the piston has infact become worn and or scored the refurb kit not put this straight! 
Quite a common problem I think.
