The retaining spring that sits on top of the pads on the left hand caliper seems to be warped - you can rock it up and down by pushing on either end and it knocks against the caliper body. I'm guessing it's knackered and needs replacing, but just to be sure I'm not doing something very stupid, does this look like it's seated properly?:

It's the same on the right hand side, and that spring doesn't move so I'm guessing it's positioned properly and it just got bent or warped at some point in the bike's life? The pin on the left has small grooves as well, probably because the pads have juddered around so much.
You're not hijacking the thread, it was mine from September 2012.
Hard to tell anything from a photo, but there's not much that can really go wrong with the retaining spring to be honest, so i doubt it's warped?
They have little arrows on them, make sure it's positioned correctly with the arrow pointing upwards.
