| 05 MCS Rear Brakes 2 years ago MINI replaced my rear calipers under warranty due to them sticking.
I now have an odd rubbing sound occasionally from the RH rear when the car is going slowly, which does not go away when the brakes are applied which tells me that the rear caliper is probably sticking again. It sounds a bit like the disc is warped but I have checked it and it appears ok.
Also when lifted of the ground the wheel turns ok but the brakes are definitely dragging a bit.
I haven't checked yet, but I am guessing that MINI won't entertain me if I try and complain.
Looking at the rear discs they are quite well worn (21k from new) and quite well corroded on the outer edge. There is even a small section which looks like it is delaminating, I don't know if there was a groove there origionally?
What are currently considered the best replacement discs for the rear? I do not track the car (I have another car for that)
Thanks
