Hi everyone!
Got a new issue with the Starlet.(ep91) Noticed my car was badly pulling when braking on the M6 last weekend. Took it to my Local garage and after 15 minutes of looking at the brakes he informed me that I have flash fried my front left disk. Basically the calliper became stuck and forced the pads on the left side onto the disk. During driving this of course was producing some serious amount of heat so friction coefficient was zero, hence why the car was pulling.
I was also informed that I am looking around £500 for a repair, which includes a new calliper on the left side with new pads and disks on both.
The Starlet is on 93,000 and just passed its MOT three weeks ago. I do not want to spend that amount of money as I getting rid of the trouble free (well nearly) starlet soon.
Anyone got any ideas?
