Left front calliper wanted

p2roverman · 11th February 2018, 18:27

Can one of the car breakers supply me with a front left calliper for a standard Rover 75. One where the piston is definitely free and the bleed nipple will unscrew.

I have a sticking calliper and it's going to be quicker and easier to just swop callipers rather than strip and overhaul the existing one. Especially in this cold weather.

I had the same, but just bought a new caliper from my local motor factors. Cost wasn't out of the way either - £80 all up

Thanks Richard, remarkably cheap! However, a member has offered me a pair of callipers and discs which I'll likely take up. The fact that I have four cars, of which at least three are planned to be kept running justifies the acquisition of spares.

Now received a pair of callipers and discs from a member, so issue resolved.

Is is possible to close or remove the series of posts as no longer relevent?
