Just been to gym and on way back the brake suddenly felt spongy.
There was also the sound of metal on metal from the rear when the brakes were applied.
Checked when I got home and the drivers side rear brake pad is hanging out of the caliper on the outside and the inside pad is completely missing with the piston pressing against the disc and a groove around the disc where it was rubbing.
The rear discs and pads (Mintex) were fitted in February by a local mechanic so I rang him and he's coming out in the morning to have a look.
Does anyone think this may have been due to poor workmanship on the mechanics part or could he say it's the caliper at fault and I'll have to pay again for parts/labour.
On a side note, went on my first motorway run to hull and back since the work was done, which is making me think that if the calipers weren't put back together correctly, the long run could have worked the pads loose quicker than my day to day use.
Any opinions welcome
