Been getting a clicking from the front when applying the brakes after driving for a bit, so took a look today.
Seems the caliper pins are worn, as the caliper rattles a bit, even though its all torqued up :roll:

Common problem ( search says no ) and will replacing the pins sort the problem, or does the carrier need replacing as well?

Cheers :D

Although the carrier is fairly easy to cross thread.
I've had to replace a couple.
