Thats a good one. The slides in the calipers can get sticky and jam.

i can push it up my drive way by hand, slight up hill, then it will roll back down i can apply the brake and release and it will continue to roll.
i might have a good check though, it might explain why its had 4 front sets of rotors, 5 front sets of pads, 2 sets of rear rotors and 2 sets of rear pads in 160thou k's the previous owner must have lived on a big hill

Is the Odo 100% correct?

Are you using a GPS for km's travelled ?

On the GPS thing... careful with that as they usually under-read as they don't take into account going up and down hills very well

Good thinking.

GPS is just 2D point to point isn't it.

I only asked because running 245/75R16 puts my odo out by approx 5%

They are good for checking your speedo as long as you are on the level. When we did the climb out of Maytown in FNQ I reckon the gps odo was out 20%
