Hi Tommy, that's good advice from Dazzer but one of the pots was well and truly fooked!
The problem being with the new disc and pads the pots have to go all the way home for everything to fit inside the caliper.
One was badly corroded and deeply pitted to the point where it wouldn't seal properly. Being a cheapskate I've decided to
fork out a fiver for new seals and have a go at turning a new pot. (see pic) I've given them a spray of Halfords caliper paint too for good measure.
Hopefully it'll work out ok, I'll find out when I get her back on the road. :thumbup
