For a while now i have been having problems with my front passenger side caliper.
Ive had the handbrake cables changed and yes less noise but still the grating sound and a heavily dusted passenger side wheel.
So finally, today i took off the wheel to check what was going on.
Result: Outside pad worn down to the metal, the inside pad, not even worn seized caliper? perhaps
As im in Huddersfield all this week so I spoke to independant Citroen specialists M&M Autos in Holmbridge and the car is going in Thursday.
Hopefully they will be able to free off the caliper and with a new set of pads i will be back in business......here's to hoping

I've got something similar going on; about a 2:1 ratio outer/inner pad wear.
Is there a service kit of parts advised, or does one just rip it all down, clean/burnish and reassemble with something like the Wurth high-temp copper grease?
A "crash stop" on the usual test patch of clean concrete, with analysis of tyre marks, also showed I have sticky caliper guides on three wheels of the Pug! Whose turn did you say it was, Vince?
