Hi and sorry for the late reply. my internet went missing and needed replacing. bit like my brake pad. I took it to bits and as i thought. 3 brake pads were present and 1 must have disintegrated. the backing was rusty to confirm the pic above. which created a few mil of space for the piston to then move out hence the pedal hitting the floor and the opposite side locking up, VW pads!. i can post a pic when i find out how., prob photo bucket. p.s tried to join tonight. i have no pay pal. is any other method of payment available thx craig
