I have girling calipers on my 760 wagon, UK spec., about 82000 miles. About 1500 miles ago I replaced the front brake pads. To start with, no problems. Now I have the brakes, particularly at right hand front side sticking, i.e. they don't ease off the pressure after I brake, resulting in vibration, loss of power and excessive petrol consumption.

What should I suspect, sticking pistons, jammed pads or what? And how should I correct? If it is the pistons, should I attempt to repair, or am I better off replacing the calipers (to my financial detriment no doubt).

Any useful advice is highly appreciated.
