Hi,

Had brake pads and discs replaced on the front, drove down the road odd noise, told mechanic, he said nothing wrong, finally diagnosed warped disc and replaced. Again same problem arose, it got worse and juddering on braking, again not his fault. Tracking and balancing checked no problem.

Went to an expensive place, couldn't find anything wrong and checked with alignment computers etc. So replaced discs and pads apparently gave it a good grease up, was ok for a time, then all started again.

Took to another independant, I suggested the caliper, they didn't think so, looked it over but nothing wrong. Went in with them for some more work and prolem had gotten worse, still couldn't find anything and suggested brake caliper!!!!

Friend with same issue on a Corsa, they took to a main Vauxhall dealer as was determined brake caliper cover, replaced and problem solved.

Does this sound about right please? and would I just need the side with issue replacing or both sides? also am assuming I would need pads and disc replacing and again just side with issue or both sides please?

Many Thanks
