Happy New Year to you all.
For my present I had a new set of discs ( rotors) and some almost new calipers, the paint had hardly dried on 'em when the lady wanted to upgrade to girling 16s. So to save the bother of re rubbering my old girling 14s it seemed a snip at £60 the pair. I have spent the day replacing the new for old and have just observed a great puddle of brake fluid under the right hand front wheel. It appears that the seal has been breached on the outer chamber. It may be bad luck or - there was a 14 thou difference when checking the gap either side of the disc, does any one know if this would cause the problem.
