$100
Front Right Brake Slightly Jammed i.e. did not return to its neutral position after braking. This resulted in the brake juddering because of the rotors producing a lot of heat. It was found that one of the two-piston covers was torn. This in-turn resulted in water contaminating the piston with the offending torn cover. Piston covers and seals for both pistons were replaced. Both front brakes - fluid were bled off.
