Hi, Just want to come back to this as it is still not fixed. Today I brought, new calipers, fitting kit, flange bolt pins and slider but agin the guy explained. "The Part the rear break pad sits on" the housing is seized. I did not bring it in so that is as much info as I have. I did see another post where someone did make mention of the slider in the caliper housing has seized. I phoned Toyota and he has e-mailed the garage but I am still no wiser to exactly what this part is.

Hey Adam, No they said I need the fitting kit also, with the pins etc that part i knew. So Fitting kit + caliper + housing. I am actually just off the phone to the machanic the dealer is going to phone him directly, the machanic said it is the part that holds the caliper to the car also. I will find out shortly what it is. Thanks, James

Just going to jump in on this, my rear Calipers have also seized the dealer I got the car from has ordered two new calipers for me but my own machanic is going to be doing the work as I live a bit of a distance from the dealer. Just one question, the guy that is doing the work told me he could get the pins out the rear calipers without damaging the caliper. He said if you get someone to get them out you might get away with just replacing the pin else you will need to replace the caliper and housing. So I am to pick up the new calipers tomorrow for an IS 220D 2006 will it come with the housing? I am not quite sure what is meant by housing, my dealer reckons yes it should be the whole thing but he did not seem to know himself. Thanks, James

Thanks, I took the car to a garage they said the battery needs replaced hopefully I have no more issues with it.

Hi I just want to jump on this thread. I have had a similar issue, battery dead if I leave it over night more so in cold weather. Just want to check if anyone has exactly the same issue. When I get into the car, I put my foot on the clutch, green light comes on, I press it, it does not turn over instead everything just goes flat, dash, radio nothing works. If I leave it maybe a min then open the door everything will come back on like a reset I notice my clock will be reset. If I try and restart again it might do the exact same thing or if it turns over it will start and it runs fine and may run fine for a week until it is left again over night or if it cold. IS220D 2006 The battery being dead I am not sure about, if it did not turn over at all the first time or the second (I mean it just made a click and the entire dash went black) the third attempt it seem to turn over like nothing was wrong. Between attempts I could not do anything, if i put foot on the cltch the green light did not come on, then a few mins later it comes back to life. Any ideas? Thanks
