dr_broon Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Wow, for 180K your deck is doing very well mate! Both Mechanically and looks wise Think I might get my calipers properly re-furbed, had a local garage that does machining etc dismantle, clean, grease and re-assemble mine not long after I got the car and they have been ok so far. There's a company in Nottingham that will give a 4 year warranty on their full re-manufacture and high end paint service. So even if rebuilding them with better seals etc doesn't sort it, then at least you are covered for a good while.Cheers fella.. Just clicked round 185k the other day... Needs a few bits of bodywork sorting though. Krzys did have a nightmare getting those brakes refurbed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Damn, How was the quality when you did finally get them back? Well he's still alive, so they worked! They did a good job, just took the pee a bit at the time! I would still recommend them, but get in touch about turnaround times first! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Not bad. My mate who refurbished calipers for a living. Calls them "rover" calipers. Notoriously s**t. But says 90% of time the seal round hand brake lever isn't in properly so bea ring rusts. So if done right and a dollop of grease on there should last ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
