I doubt that - calipers are expensive!!

John, I got a rear one from a guy in Cardiff a few weeks ago for £25 (plus £5:10 to the French for the Bridge)
I have had a few problems with Freda & only had her for a month.

Cheers nobby

Was that for a new one? - seems cheap if it was?

John, It was used but in good nick Mazda wanted best part of £300 for a new one! I have just had a call from The guy in Cardiff he has a front one so I'm off the sunny South Wales to pick it up on the morrow.

Congratulations - £300 seems more like it
What other problems have you had?

have you considered an overhaul kit from the dealer?

the front calipers on a friends k reg mr2 look fairly similar (my pads fitted his car). could be worth investigating

Thanks to all who have posted replys, I am picking the second hand caliper up on Tuesday and fitting it the same night as I have the MOT on Thursday.

The problems we have had with Freda are:

Front fan U/S New one on Ebay £100
Fan resister Fixed by me for free thanks to this web site (Ta again )
Rear caliper Second hand one £25
Front caliper Second hand one £25
Rear hub oil seals New £20
Comp set off brake pads New £39
Wiper set (of 3) New on Ebay £12

Bits I had to get anyway:
Two front tyres New £80
tow bar £105
filter set & Oil £30


Me & the kids still love her but the wifes not so keen

Cheers Pat
