Rear Brakes binding
Hi Guys
My car is a 2007 XJ6 X350. I have just finished putting new discs and pads on all 4 wheels. Front worked fine but when I did rear wheels and tested them the brakes are binding. I am guessing that the parking brake is stuck on. Also I got a message on the dash saying " Cruise Control not available". I am not sure if the message is connected to the problem or something else entirely. Any ideas would be gratefully accepted
Thanks in advance

Hi Mark
I wound the pistons back a far as they would go. I have the tool to do this. the rear right was fine but the left was much more difficult. I opened the bleed screw to reduce the pressure and bleed the brakes afterwards. I am about to redo both back brakes to see if I have done something stupid. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I am reasonably good with spanners and have done this job many times on various cars but never one with an electronic hand brake..
Anyway back to the fray

That sucks. But the seller should remedy the wrong part. At least you are not buying a caliper. Both my rears needed replacing about a year apart. My caliper kit is well used on all my cars. All those years of using C-clamp are over. One of the best tool sets I've purchased, and it was cheap.
