Hi all,
Both rear brake calipers had partly seized took it my mechanic mate managed to free nearside & he said keep an eye on the o/s , took it out today did less than 10 miles got home and the o/s was smoking even the wheel was god damn hot, where is the best place to get new calipers decent ones , or is it worth getting a repair kit ?
thanks in advance for your advice. Mick.

There was a recent thread on here regarding new callipers from an eBay member.

Do a search

I would buy new to be honest, they are all time bombs

Brakes international are a reputable supplier of overhauled, OEM nissin calipers.. Got a pair on the back of mine and all is well again Demand is high for these though, so you may not always get them straight away.

Worth a phone call to them, always been very helpful when I've spoken with them

Yep, demand for rear calipers is high so you may need to ring round a few places.

I replaced mine recently. Armed with the part numbers Toms1989 provided in a separate thread I set about ringing around motor factors. I found myself a pair of rears and fitted them. Easy to swap over and I would recommend doing this instead of spending money on a repair kit. Mine cost me £83 each, but this will vary depending on which motor factor you get them from.

Part numbers:-

AMK:-
RR LEFT TCA3069
RR RIGHT TCA3070

SHAFTEC:-
RR LEFT BC8896
RR RIGHT BC8896R

BRAKE ENGINEERING:-
RR LEFT CA2214
RR RIGHT CA2214R

Just got a refurbed front one off ebay after reading some posts on here and it works a treat, plus get a part rebate sending back the old one.....

Glad they came in use mate

Which ones did you get a hold of in the end?

MJK46

Yeah they did, cheers for the help!

I ended up with the AMK ones. Rhauri helped swap them over and they seem spot on.

Mine needed to be done ASAP, especially on the drivers side. The brake pads were pretty much non existent!!
