I've been struggling to get as close as usual to 60mpg for the last week or so, and occasionally it felt as if the car wasn't rolling as freely as it ought when coasting clutch down on flat ground. Twice now when arriving at work I have put my hand against all four wheels, and found three being relatively even in temperature, but with the OSR being noticeably warmer. Clearly this means the pads are remaining in contact with the disc, and the rust rings on the disc point to this too.
Although the pads aren't low, I've ordered a pad set with replacement steel inserts for the caliper that the pads sit against. I've also ordered new slider pins for the caliper to run on, and will lube the piston before winding it back.
Is there anything else worth bearing in mind specific to the calipers on a Panda 4x4, or any advice worth following when giving these an overhaul?
