Went out for a nice run to a TVR meet in Stirling, came off motorway up to a roundabout and the car lounged forward when braked then a hell of a noise when braking again, so lucky enough there was service's across the road parked up jacked up front n/s took wheel off and there it was brake caliper hanging off still had the bolts on them and brake pipe still in one piece just bent the metal gaurd behind the disc, so got it put back on but the locking tabs were not bent over.Thanks Sandy.
Car went fine after that so i'll now have to check the rest some time this week just incase.

It nearly was Campbell, but it just show's you dont take anything for granted.
A check every month will not go amiss.
