Hi Folks
I have a slight problem and can't seem to cure it, My drivers side front brake sometimes binds causing it to heat up it has done it 3 times in the last month but if you let it cool down it is fine after that for anything up to a week or more , I have had it in to the garage where it was taken off and pads and caliper cleaned but alas 1 day later it was binding again, The garage now want to change the flexi hose in case it is breaking up inside causing like a one way valve but I am not convinced also price of a new hose is £111 + vat which I recon is a little bit savage,
Any help much appreciated
Forgot to say it is an 06 rodeo 3ltr td
Thanks Karl

is it still in warranty if so it should be covered ,it sounds like the sliders on the caliper are sticking

i've done a few now where the piston itself seizes, you can get a repair kit so take out the old seal clean up the cylinder and fit a new seal and piston

Thanks Gents I will have a look at both maybe fit both sliders and seal kit,
Can I get these bits from anywhere other than the main dealers.
Thanks again
