Genuine exchange brake calipers

[John LE]

I have a suspected seized rear brake caliper. The dealer seems to be the cheapest place to buy an exchange caliper but can't say when he will get one.

Has anyone ordered one from the dealer and how long did it take?

Got therm pretty quick, 2days IIRC for 314mm Calipers. Ditto about the cost Phil.

Next day, they work out cheapest once you exchange your old one.

I can get two replacement calipers from the dealer for the price of 1 at a motor factor

Motor factor wants £99 odds

Dealer wants 51!

Like I say though the dealer doesn't know when he can get one.

I have a pair of seized 292 calipers that i'd like to fit to the car instead of the 278s so that would be 100 quid each plus discs and pads

john if they are off the car get a refurb kit and save your money

[John LE]

Problem is that the 278 caliper thats fitted to the car has seized solid meaning the car is off the road

I either need a dirt cheap 278 caliper or the 292's exchanged asap

292's exchanged then, plus side is that's better brakes for towing the 'van

I had mine done by kwik fit at last mot as it had seized up but was done through warranty as they had fitted 3 years previously so not sure what the cost would have been.

Ok i've been to a different motor factor today and got a price of 65 quid a side for 278s and 70 quid a side for 292s but they need to know if the piston is 38mm or 40mm. Does anyone know?
