Cannot Locate a Supplier of 1 Tiny Part

Mikem · 17th August 2017, 19:57

I am near completion of a total overhaul of my rear brakes. (Rover 75 2003 Diesel 2ltr CDTi) Including back plates, handbrake shoes, New Pads and so on. No problems locating major parts. The only part I cannot seem to find a supplier for, is the tiny spring clip that retains the low disc pad sensor. They were not included with the pads or the sensor purchased. Both sides came out in 2 bits. Can anyone help with details of where I can get these. Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Mike.

These are either supplied with decent sensors, or the old ones are re-used. The breakers is an option to consider. I keep these in my stock for such eventualities.

Hi Roger.
Thanks for feedback. old ones were broken. Sensor purchased did not have one in the pack. can you recommend a supplier of a decent sensor.
Many thanks Mike.

I've never had a new sensor without the clip so I'd suspect it's more likely to be an error. There are dozens of places selling them so why not ask them to confirm their item comes with a clip. Maybe try Euro Car Parts?

I see the clip on this one (this is front one): http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Ro...e2bcc31&000369

Or a tenner cheaper at DMGRS here on the forum. https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...010-all-models

My sensor wires came complete with clips.

I have sorted a clip out for Mike, so he needn't worry about it any further. Just await address details via PM and it will be on it's way to him.

It would be a help if we knew who was supplying the sensor without the clip though to help future purchases avoid similar issues.

Is this the clip? the shiny bit I'm pointing at?

Excellent, thank you.
Now can someone post a piccie of where exactly in the calliper it goes please, because my front one had broken off and was dangling free, and the rear one has been cut off, so I'm not sure about the placement.

oops! sorry for hijacking the thread.
