Had the new, free, immobiliser enabled without asking yesterday. Luckily a trolley jack and a screwdriver got rid of it.

Oh the horror I had when this happened on my supra that used the same breaks.
Everyone was looking at me and because I was in town I had to get the AA out to get it out of the calliper, It was wedged deep inside!

Had exactly that happen yesterday. Low speed turning into the work car park picked up a stone. It sounded like someone was angle grinding a girder.
Went back time car at lunchtime hoping the disc cooling down might be enough to for the stone to drop it but it needed the assistance of a bumpy road. :)
Same on ours on the way back from a break in Cornwall for a few days , a chunk of granite stuck in the brakes for nine hours , I got it out the next morning when I could get the wheel off , the stone was polished flat on one side , I had to break it in two to get it out , it seems a bit if a problem then ?! .
