    Seized rear calipers

    Yes thank you, hoping you guys are right with the hoses, garage hadn't heard of it before and like I said Honda didn't mention anything when the 1st one was done. Still it's only money I could be spending on all new suspension for the MR2 :( ...

    Seized rear calipers

    Ok booked in on Monday for new rear brake lines, not too cheap at £110 fitted, they are also getting a calliper in on standby too, let's hope the discs are ok, pads only just changed so fingers crossed there too. Thanks for all the help, I hope this sorts the issue out...
