    I thought as much - sat for a couple of months out in the rain and pads rusted to the discs.

    Had to take it apart and replace the top gear as had shattered - bearings went and the whole thing broke - luck not any real other damage apart from price of new gear from Gigglepin in UK.

    More 4x4 needed then!
