Just a thought but do the pads move freely?. When I changed mine recently I found the same caliper as you are having problems with was slightly smaller where the pads fit. I had to file the edges down slightly so that they would move freely.

Hmm, Ive changed the pads, but they were a little tight to get in, Im having the brakes off tonight so I may take a little off them, I dont want them to chatter though!

diggerdog36:
Right, little update, but im sure it will baffle you as much as it baffles me!!

I jacked the car up before we went any where and the wheel was hard to turn, i then pressed the brake, I cracked the pipe at the ABS module, the wheel was hard to turn, I then cracked it off at the join between flexi-pipe and rigid pipe, wheel was hard to turn!

I then cracked it off at the caliper, wheel was hard to turn.  When I say cracked it off, I mean undo completely!!  I whipped off the caliper and pushed the pistons back by hand, it was hard but I did manage it with my thumbs.  My sliders slide really easily, absolutley no resistance. I then rigged it all back up and bled the brakes, pressed the pedal again, wheel was hard to turn, I then forced the caliper back with a screwdriver to get the wheel to turn.
Baffled!!
