Hi all
Driving home on Friday (last time before being taken off road for winter!) the car made a horrible clonk/thud noise before feeling like I was dragging 10 bags of sand behind me.
Luckily I was less than a minute from home, pulled onto the drive and the left rear stopped rotating and dragged across the gravel. The right rear also started spinning up - probably due to the gravel and the left being held.
Under closer inspection the disc and painted bit had tinted a blue colour. This tells me it got very very hot! See photo.
Due to a busy weekend I've not had much chance to look at it. Planning on 'working from home" tomorrow so inevitably I'll get an hour to start breaking it apart.
What's people's thoughts? Failed/stuck handbrake? Caliper? Worse?!
Assume best course of action is wind the handbrake back and get the caliper off and disc?
