Recently fitted new rear pads and disks to 2004 Tourer and things seemed fine for first few weeks but recently had signs of sticking from one side with lots of smoke and smells on occasions!
Stripped, greased, filed the edge of pads to ensure loose fit and taken some adjustment out of the handbrake shoes but stills seems to be there. Pushed the piston out as far as I dared and cleaned it before pushing it back.
Got the wife to press the pedal hard and then release and straight after could feel binding in the brake but if I manually pulled on the caliper then it released.
Thought it could be hose issues so had the wife do the same and then cracked the bleed nipple to release any pressure but didn't release the binding!
Quick read of some threads says the Saloon and Tourer pads are different and getting the wrong ones can cause issues.
Has anybody got pictures of the two pads so I know if I have got the correct ones or not?
