Default 2wd Caliper sticking rebuild/replace

Goooood Morning

My brake caliper on the drivers side is sticking on slightly on the front

Whats my options should I just buy new or reconditioned one or has anyone ever rebuilt their own?

Where can I get a recon one or the rebuild kit at the right price?

I want to try and get something sorted this week if I can

Any advice apreciated

it was the summer issue, 243 with the mk3 escort thrash on the cover mate

i would have sent you copy but we dont have any of them left.

you can order back issues from tower publishing, they only keep the last 12 months in stock tho.
