Currently driving an E82 123d SE, have had it for around 14 months now and loved it for, say, 80% of the time it has been in my possession. One thing keeps cropping up every few months however, and that's one of the calipers starting to stick and then eventually needing replaced.

My O/S/F caliper has started sticking occasionally on journeys longer than an hour - which makes my 40 mile each way commute a bit of an issue. First had the issue on the N/S/F, then O/S/R and I'm worried that this might be more than just wear and tear. Car has covered around 26k in 14 months in my ownership but people have longer journeys to do than I do so I can't imagine my mileage is the main culprit?

I work for a Vauxhall Main dealer so have access to two workshops and usually get repairs done with parts at cost price + 10% and no labour charge, however apparently the workshop controller is getting sick of my car being in constantly and is saying next time it's in I'll be paying for labour - which I understand.

Anyone had this issue before? I hadn't thought it would be an ABS issue as no warning lights have appeared, however it makes sense in my head - granted I know next to nothing about brakes etc.

Only 1 left to change! Once they are changed you should have no further problems* Faulty calipers won't put the abs light on.
