Caliper prices

[Dave]

Any idea on caliper prices (front) from the dealer?

Mine are all seized up again, so investigating new to save a bunch of messy work.

There's a company who refurb them at good money mate.

I could get a new price but I'm sure they are around £350 each.

I had a friend refurb a set for me and the Pistons etc were around £130.

Big Red get good reports for refurb if you don't fancy doing it yourself. http://www.biggred.co.uk

Yep. That's the guys

But I'm in sweden, so shipping heavy old lumps of iron around is usually prohibitive. So thought I'd try new and job done without messing around.

Must wonder how a genuine caliper can be any better than an aftermarket one which likely sells at one third of the price ?

I thought the same about a clutch pedal rubber i bought from milners, surely they cant get this wrong? I told myself.

It lasted 2 months, genuine fine after 2 years..

My Montego pedal rubbers lasted about the same time CG. The Audi ones were original and almost unworn after 245,000 miles.

They are very easy to rebuild your self.

You would be made to buy new if the pistons are ok
