If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your calipers from and how much did you pay? I'm starting to get desperate for a rear caliper...

[Andy73]

Hi, I got my rear calipers & loads other parts from Bridgend Motor Factors, I paid £51.86 each cause i was cheeky and asked for trade discount, but normally they retail there for £62.97+VAT!! and you have to pay extra £40.00 old unit charge which you get refunded when you take back the old unit.
The telephone number is 01656 642900 or check out www.bmf.uk.com

Hope this helps
Cheers Andy

I bought a new boot seal from volvo. It was about £40. I previously bought one from a local rubber / moulding extruding co but it didn't last and wasn't a great fit. Splash out on a volvo one i say.

Small world. Been patronising BMF for years as I only live a few miles from Bridgend. Never thought to ask when I've been in recently for brake pads!
