Hi,

Just wondering if any owners or Vauxhall staff know of a problem with the Insignia and sticking rear calipers? Looks like the near side rear caliper has stuck on and worn the pad down to bare metal.

Its booked in with Vauxhall York, but im non too confident of their abilities from past experiences.
Its a 58 (09) with 48,000 on the clock.

Thanks in advance.

Vauxhall do know that there are issues with the rear brakes on Insignias. Normally it's just a groove worn into the disc though.

Well Vauxhall have claimed that there are no issues! They have replaced discs and pads at the rear. Done 160 miles today without an issue.
