The above has seized and in consequence I cannot get an MOT !

Can anybody reccomend a good re-build outfit or if you have one in full working order I should be obliged to hear from you.

On the upside the T5 just got another years ticket at a cost of 70quid all in !

easy enough to refurb a caliper. blow piston out with compressed air. new seals. new piston. fit. bleed. voila

I've had a few from Eurocarparts although I don't really like using them but the calipers have been fine for the 2 years I've had them.
They're doing black friday deals at the moment use the code: BLACKFRIDAY for a decent discount. They also keep your old caliper for a bit more money off.

Many thanks for responses, I am told that the piston us completely seized and will not shift £130 plus VAT to be sent away !!
