Today whilst out driving I noticed a strange clunk when pulling the handbrake up then noticed brake fluid leaking from the handbrake lever on the top of the drivers side rear calliper:
Removed the caliper, top lever pulled out, (shouldn't have) popped the blanking plate out and the circlip had come off and the top seal had failed. Split the calliper (M7 torx drive, hardened bolts), pistons in perfect condition. Same callipers as the Porsche 914-6. Ordered new seals from
Superformance including all calliper seals, and outer adjusting screw which was worn - cost £60. Everything cleaned and reassembled. Re-installed and bled, problem solved.
