WOW

- absolutely classic thread

!!

Almost a year later and still proving entertaining and informative.

Firstly I'd like to thank Paul, who has just saved me a couple of hundred quid.

Mate, you have the expertise and patience of a Shaolin monk.

I was this close to paying for 2 new calipers after my mechanic told me mine had siezed.

I was actually looking for some 2nd hand ones and then realised that the problem only seemed to affect the handbrake

(not foot) and also seemed to coincide with a recent pad

/ disc change.

After reading these threads and the most amusing arguments that followed, I decided to ask my mechanic to try the 180 degree thing out.

After a skeptical look, he did and low and behold all works fine now.

I'd just like to say to those who questioned Paul in quite a rude manner

(for example: I'm not trying to argue the toss.

.

.

.but you're wrong).

It doesn't matter if your Adrian Newey or Ken Tyrell, if you haven't worked on an MR2 before you wouldn't have known about this reset mechanism.

To have the bare faced cheek and audacity to claim that, as you haven't personally heard about this method, it must be wrong, is the height of arrogance.

Cheers Paul
