I posted yesterday for first time. Perhaps you would like to know that i must be the oldest member on here at 62. I just love the 306 style and drive. For me the car looks great,and all i need to get from A to B. Not good news today though,n/s rear calliper seized and worn the pads to metal nearlly,anyone else had same probs? Ouch,£68 to repair. Maybe in the future i would do a stage 1,whats the gain in mpg and torque.
Not so happypug.
I wouldnt say its a common problem but it is uncommon if that makes sence £68 isnt a bad price if thats parts a labour, obviously the cheapest option would be to run down the scrapper and grab another caliper with the pads and jam it on yourself being such a simple job then it would be like a sub £20 jobby,
as for stage 1 dosnt really effect the MPG unless your constantly giving it the lead foot around town all the time but even then it isnt a massive decrease in MPG,
