Took her to MGR John at Blaydon. The NSF wheel was running hot, even after a short trip and was causing concern.

To put it mildly, the caliper had got stuck and the brake was binding to such an extent that it was impossible to turn the wheel when the car was on the jacks. In effect I had been driving with the handbrake on!

Will be returning tomorrow to collect her after fitting of new discs, pads and a couple of other items. John said I can expect considerably more MPG from then on. One consolation was that while I was there I sourced some pre Project Drive items that I was seeking.
