    Hi All
    Well I should have predicted this after 6 months of no use! Took my 1999 610 for a ride over weekend and after a couple of miles my rear brake slowly started coming on by itself! Managed to get home but by this time it was almost locked and pads had successfully fused to the disk!!
    I have ordered new pads and new disk but not sure whether I will need a new caliper (hope not at £170!).
    Can anyone tell me how I go about checking caliper/piston etc and what am I looking for. I am hoping I can just drain system, strip down, clean and re-assemble with new disk/pads.
    Any advise greatly appreciated
