Bmw / Rover rear caliper

vitesse · 16th February 2018, 08:29

Just dropped wife off at hairdresser’s, noticed a very high pitched squeal on the way home. Lessened in neutral, tap on the brakes made a change in tone, brake pads changed fairly recently but left rear wheel very hot even at minus 2. Suspect stuck caliper rather than wheel bearing. Will attempt to free later but ...
no Rover parts here, I believe the calipers are used by BMW too, can anyone confirm / suggest which model ?

Thanks

Thanks Andy, just looked them up but "call for pricing" isn't very helpful from my location. Will try freeing the caliper after the wife's got her perm, otherwise might just buy a new caliper but delivery time is a factor as it's our only car.

Regards
