Not yet, as I didn't get very far with inspecting the car this weekend. Got as far as jacking up the rear of the car and then finding that the rear wheels barely budged even with the handbrake released. Then realised I didn't have the correct socket to remove the bolts that hold the caliper in place - doh #-o

Will have to have another go when I get the correct socket.

Had a similar problem when I bought my new car, found out a wheel was buckled, but... having the tyre balanced properly has cured the intermittent vibration.

Thought I'd provide some closure on this. It was the rear calipers sticking after all so I had them rebuilt and the cars been as smooth as silk ever since.
