Not a good day

So driving to my college today and felt like I didn't have much power but questioned it in my head, later on I then drove home to the same problem but worse, car slowing down quickly after letting off the accelerator, get back to the work shop to get it jacked up and get the wheel off to find to my delight that my calliper had siezed up so my pads were constantly rubbing, so now by the looks of it I'm needing new calliper, new disk, new pads and maybe a sensor hope your days are going better! My coilover fund is now gone

Hopefully you can do your own work. If you can, purchase a used caliper and total in parts should be less than 150 which shouldn't set you back much. But I forget about cash flow in college, sucks man and good luck with the fix

Cheers man got it all sorted the Friday, ended up putting new caliper, disks and pads both sides along side a wear Sensor, 60 quid labour on top of the parts so can't complain tbf

Nice but in the future, don't sell used oem parts short, sometimes its better than going new aftermarket. It all depends on the part I suppose.

Good luck on the coils.
