Hi everyone - for a 1994 480 ES, I need a Power Steering Pump (the non air con version) and a drivers side rear brake caliper.

I am based in the Southampton/Portsmouth area, but would be prepared to drive a reasonable distance to collect.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

What's the difference between an a/c and non-a/c power steering pump?
As new ones are still available, with a 5-rib pulley: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/8156292
and new brake calipers are also still available: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/12747549
(though I don't like the quality)

I now have the Power Steering Pump thanks Robert - don't know what the difference is, but I am told there is one

Thanks for the rear brake caliper lead. That's proving tough to order

The Non-AC PAS pump sits below the alternator. On an AC car that position is taken by the AC compressor and the PAS pump sits above the alternator. Because of this the inlet/outlet pipe arrangement on the two pumps is different.

I had mine refurbished by these guys in 2018. Callipers still looking good to this day. I think Rachel used them also.

The price was £216 for all four callipers to be refurbished and painted in their standard colour— gun metal grey, I think.
