anyone know what symptoms this chucks up if its on its way out.
I recently had the O/S/F caliper seize on my whilst on the motorway. i had to drive a fair way to get it back and sorted so boiled my fluid and ruined my new discs and pads. i replaced discs pads front brake hoses both sides and gave the caliper a right good clean. Put it all back together and it was fine for another week (400 miles or so) until wednesday. Then again, motorway driving stuck on. caliper off and cleaned and whilst its tight it looks in good nick. i've got to replace it as i fecked the seal when i was putting it back together and i want to replace it anyway to see if it eliminates the prob.
My question is that afaik the master cylinder will split the braking front left/rear right and vice versa. my rears are fine though so i guess you can rule it out, however i have a friend with a 740 who had exactly the same probs as me, replaced his caliper and still had the same prob, ended up being the master cylinder.
does it sound feasible? sorry for the long post:hihi
