After a less than sterling performance at the MoT last month, I decided to give the brakes on the old girl a good seeing to. I fitted new pads and discs on the front, which is when I discovered that the existing calipers were in a bad way, with one piston requiring massive force to free it. These are early type calipers, which are a bit more expensive. In an effort to save a few beer tokens, I managed to track down a genuine one from a MG parts supplier on fleabay. The other was ordered from a very well known supplier, who claim to not sell inferior parts from the far east. Sadly a blue badged box appeared, despite paying £130. I thought it would be worth having a close look at them both, to see what the difference was.
