The piston is fine on both (wound in no probs) but one their is no piston movement at all using the handbrake. The rear brakes pads were almost welded to the carriers - whoever fitted them was an ape, they were so badly placed (massive gouge from the lip of the disc).

Gonna go on and order new D & P all round, trying to find the Granny springs but can't make my mind up on the uncooperative caliper...
