Hi there,
The calliper is OK as I didn't use the bike once I noticed the disc was rubbing (which was literally when I wanted to ride my bike after it had sat in the garage).
Yes, the discs seem to be badly warped/seized. I tried to clean the bobbins but it barely made any difference.
The other thing I discover yesterday is something I don't know how to explain (may take some pictures later), but RHS (clutch side disc, which causes the problem) is bending/flipping when I press it with my fingers - what I mean is I can literally flip it to the left to slightly change its position (so its not rubbing the calliper) but once the brake is applied it gets back (flips back) to its original position and rubs the calliper.

Well, if the discs from my link are suitable its �55 a disc, so not so bad and might be worth doing it and get them changed.
What I am worry about is the old disc bolts - they will be pain in the as* to remove.
