MOT Failure S Type- Nearside Rear Brake Binding
After battling with the lock nuts, I have landed ontoanother problem. Today I took the Jag for MOT test; unfortunately it has failedthe test. The nearside rear brake is binding, thus the only reason for thefailure.
I tried to check the two pins but they are fine (both are moving freely). Despitethat I cleaned then apply some grease and took the car for road test but it’sstill binding.
Please hon members help, Thanks

You need a new caliper, try eurojag Contact Us | Jaguar parts and spares from Eurojag for a used one, about £30 you'll also need a set of rear pads, about £20
I noticed I had a sticking rear caliper cos of the extra brake dust on the wheel compared to the others, i then noticed the heat when driven for a while.

Just a quick feedback, today Itried to recalibrate but still binding, cleaned and lubricated the EPBmechanism but still binding.
Then I removed the calliper andtook out the piston, there were some yellow stuff and the seal appeared partlytwisted. I tried to clean inside the calliper and piston with 1200mm sandpaperand brake cleaner, reassemble it, then road test, it became worse.
Please advise, should I buy thecalliper kit or the whole calliper? Thanks

I think you've exhausted all other reasonable possibilities and should take police's advice to replace the caliper.
