Can you go back to the garage?
if the caliper was rebuilt it should be fine - otherwise can you remove the calipers yourself and send them away? bigg red have a great reputation for refurbishing calipers and returning them to you

Yeah but I think it’s been long enough that it would be considered a new fault, it’s probably about a year. DIY isn’t an option for me for various reasons, it’s just whether I risk another rebuild or pay out for a calliper which I’m not sure would still be available. Last time the rebuild, new disc and pads came to about £400.
Edit I’ve looked up the part, it’s readily available and not expensive. I’ll get it I reckon.

Hi all, I’ve got a binding brake calliper which is causing violent vibration of the steering wheel even off the brakes and the wheel is red hot. This previously happened 10k miles ago and the garage rebuilt it so I’m a bit annoyed that it’s happened again and wrecked another disc. Should I ask for a new replacement calliper this time or have I just been unlucky? It’s a BMW 130i.
