Hi yall,
My OSF caliper is sticking on my M-Tech1 sport, I believe this is a fairly common problem? Anyone know what usually causes this on E30s?
I'm going to give the pad runners etc a clean and regrease hoping this will cure it, fingers crossed!
Thanks
Chris

Hi

Make sure the brake pipe hasnt gone inside they sometimes colapse causing the brake to stick on

Thanks Darren,

Good thought I would not have thought to check that, I would have had the caliper apart and all sorts!

Cheers

Chris
