The front brake issue is definitely a binding calliper. I had the same issue on my 2011 NC, it's a very common issue. Don't make the mistake I did and changed just one caliper as the other side failed within 18 months or 4000 miles. I went through 2 sets of pads and discs within 18 months as the second failed caliper cooked the brake disc so could risk it having been warped. Best to change both calipers.

Hi Damo, My son took over my NC from me (2006 / 117k miles) when I bought an ND 30th Anniversary. I recognise the faults / niggles you highlight tho we're now feeling the effects of rust with a bit of welding required to pass the last MOT. Sticking front calliper is a classic and the price of parts meant we went for a replacement and no issues since. The gear change is lovely as it is in the ND but overall it's provided a real taste of rear wheel drive to my son who is now struggling to decide what to replace it with. As for me, well I'm due to take delivery of a replacement for the ND (still to decide if I'll sell it or keep it) in the form of an Alpine A110S - light weight, its infectious :) Cheers, Kevin
