Following the catastrophic, though highly amusing and spectacular failure of my rear brakes, I've forked out for a pair of new, unused Sierra 4x4/Escort Cosworth rear calipers:

These, as we all know, provide better stopping power at the back, which is awfully important. Especially in a 22 year old turbocharged Sierra which is often called to stop in a hurry! If nothing else, they'll stop it rolling backwards down the hill at home.
I'll see if I can get a picture of the ruined pads - they'll make a great ornament on the mantlepiece.
I've also decided that I'm destined never to have new suspension, because these new rear brakes have stolen most of what I'd planned to spend on a set of Konis and springs. Arse.
