The n/s front brake calliper recently seized. The first and only symptoms were juddering at 60-70 when I immediately slowed down to a smooth 30-40. I drove about 10 miles home like this and a further slow 10 miles a few days later to a garage for repair. I was not aware of any real braking effect but the road wheel was much too hot to touch afterwards.

The garage confirmed the seized calliper and also diagnosed a warped disc and (quite correctly) replaced both front discs but I wonder whether it is usual for a disc to be damaged after relatively few miles with a seized calliper. The discs had been replaced 15 months (2-3000 miles) earlier because of pitting. Recent damp and relative lack of use were blamed for the sticking.

Any comments/thoughts much appreciated.
