Good evening Joe,
Many thanks for your prompt reply which is greatly appreciated, if these guys are effectively, "just on the doorstep" so to speak, it could be worth the "offending garage" giving them a try, I have printed off the contact details of "Big Red" for their note when they have the car back next week to sort this issue out for me.
I have to say that I was pretty pi**ed off with their antics as I had not asked them to do anything with the brakes whatsoever, the car is just my daily driver, not tracked or driven stupidly (although that is not for me to say! 🙂 ) and there were not any issues with the brakes when it went in! simply, my regular 8,000 mile service, oil filter, the usual etc's replace front and rear diff lubricants and additionally, being an electronic diff, the transfer box too .
As per my first mail, I can understand them not wanting to brass up for a new calliper but giving me some nonsense about paint on the calliper causing the problem just inflamed the issue! I have a graduate engineering background and I am no prepared to listen to this rubbish, the callipers are in first class condition, the paint finish is as it left the factory and it is simply a surprise if the other three bled out satisfactorily without issue, the principal causation then being that it was only some ham fisted mechanic without any patience who broke the blo**dy thing off!!
Anyway, enough of the rant, thank you again for your contact assistance ...
Kindest.
David.
