Whilst fitting a remote greasing kit I noticed that there was a shim projecting from the pad/calliper assembly - see pic 1. The problem had occurred on one pad on each calliper - see pics 2 & 3 for the detail.

I spoke with Caparo who promptly exchanged the pads for a new set FOC.

The car is a 2011 Plus 4, 4,000 miles and three main dealer services.

The problem doesn't look like it would lead to a serious braking problem (I'm not an engineer) but nonetheless clearly the situation isn't as it should be.

[File Manager taking forever to load the images - hopefully one will do the job]

Same happened to mine, similar miles. Dealer said they see it frequently with Caparo pads, not dangerous (just pulled it out with pliers).
