205 brake problem

Go down the scrappie and get a caliper that works, and a bleed nipple that will come undone! Takes about 10 mins to change it, then another 10 to bleed it.

Thats the cheapest idea..

Like the other posts say, scrappie is easiest, but I had a similar problem, and it worked out that the brake cylinder piston was sticking causing the brakes not to release properly, a remedy to this is to take out your brake pads on the particular wheel, get someone to gently apply the brakes till the piston comes almost right out, or at least a good deal of the way out. Then get the finest emery paper you can and pour some brake fluid onto it and gently clean the piston as best you can, make sure when you have finished to remove all trace of emery dust from the piston. (pour brake fluid over it to make sure) then using a suitable implement push the piston right back into its recess, it should go almost right in, if it does that should do the trick. Mind you don't take too much of the piston with the emery, you should be able to see the offending part as it will look rusty. Rs

Have you tried turning on your stereo? They seem to be inextricably connected on your car, lol Don't you just love the little quirks of the 205? Bless 'em all.

Theres an idea....

No i`ve ordered a new caliper as that seemed the easyist way of dealing with the fact there was no bleednipple on it.. it had snapped off deep inside..

Hopefully this will cure it. After that all i need todo is have the rear rubber blocks changed on the back axle and its done.
