My short term fix was to take a few mm off the pads on the bench grinder.

This stops them getting stuck on the disc and getting hot at higher speeds causing pad transfer/ judder etc. I was getting terrible problems after a drive down the dual carriageway, I could feel them not sitting as they should and grabbing the disc which was causing everything to get rather angry!

They sit Ok in the caliper now they are trimmed down a little and slide as expected. I do want to refurb the caliper itself to get the shims clean and flush as they should be that just turned out to be one of those jobs that just caused problems!
