    Thanks for the help on the last questions, as promised here's the next one.

    It seems one of the front brake calipers is sticking. Would you think a
    clean up will sort it or should I not bother and just get a replacement
    from a breakers yard? Is there some kind of rebuilt kit available that
    might be useful if I do decide to try and sort it?

    Ta,
    Paul

    I depends what is sticking. If the piston is sticking you probably need
    another caliper, but if the caliper has just stopped sliding then you
    should be OK just taking the pads out and lubricating the rods it slides
    on. I had this problem a year ago and has been fine since I freed it up
    and lubricated it.
