Scott Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Have you been over to see if they've even taken the caliper off the car? I'll bet good money they haven't. Thats the reason they just want to replace it, can't be arsed. As DNK said, part changers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 AH HA now we are getting somewhere. They told me all they will do is a straight swap for the caliper and wont try and fix it as thats not how they work or the service they offer. Therefore should I get them to supply the sidcs and pads as the price is ok for those and then get someone else to try and fix my caliper. Or do I go for a used caliper from Silverstone or Chris W and get them to fit the lot? Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Chris or Silverstone will be absolutely fine. I wouldn't bother getting anything through that garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've ordered the discs and pads now too so I am happy for them to do the work if I can get them a caliper. Ill speak to Chris to see if he can supply a caliper for me.

dr_blackman Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 My old car I done roughly 17k of those miles in a year and a half I had her. I done the exhaust, wheels, alarm and bits and pieces. Brakes where always the next thing on the list to do. It was my daily driver and still miss her. I bought braided hoses for it but never got much further. I would say still original disc's on the front still. Hope you look after her like I did many moons ago Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Quick update - I am still looking for a front drivers side caliper for an NA (2piston type) which I require ASAP. If someone has a good condition used or a new caliper they would like to sell please contact me. Thanks Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
