What did you do to your van today?

Swan - I've done 3 pairs using kits from biggred and they've all been spot on. Calipers have been on for years without any issues and still going strong. I'm planning to do my Caddy ones soon.

Fair dos mate. I just don’t feel confident enough to have a go. I’m not too worried though as a new caliper is only £40 more than the garage quoted to rebuild.
Maybe one day I’ll have a crack myself, but for now I’ll take your word for it

Can have a play around with the old one

[VanLife]

Definitely take the old one apart if you can. You'll see how simple calipers are then and hopefully have the confidence next time.

I was thinking of doing that but they will give me money for the old one. I may buy a cheap one at some point for a few quid and have a mess around though good tip gents

I know where you're coming from though.....brakes, even on a bike, are voodoo!

Yesterday, the camper developed a sticky caliper.....today, I'm going to attempt to free it off, but it might need a rebuild......andd new discs and pads and flexi lines and bleed......etc.
Scares the bejesus out of me!

Funny you should say that Pat, I did the brakes on my MTB the other day. I tried to change the fluid like I would on my motorbike. I didn’t realise on a push bike you put the oil in at the caliper end and collect it in a funnel screwed into the reservoir!
I had to look on YouTube to find out.

You’re braver than me mate, and more knowledgable too, you’ll manage it

Chucking it down here, doing diy so to get my caddy fix I accepted an offer given on eBay and bought new stalks for cruise and trip

Now I need to find someone localish with VCDS.

I spent most of the morning changing this thing

What a time consuming job this was and what pain to get out. It has two clips one on each side they are so far inside the barrel I had to use two pins to get it out.
But now the new one is in the ignition now works properly.

I did the Transporter aero wiper swap on my van after seeing yours.....it really smartens up the rear end (for those of us that don't do the wiper delete)
