we had a cabstar in at work this week the pads and discs were that bad the inside pad fell out letting the caliper pistons travel so far fluid leaked out past the seals!!! took the caliper off and the pistons just fell off on the ramp. bloke said "oh its been grinding for a few weeks actually just didnt get round to getting it looked at" unbelievable lol
