My Mazda Bongo 4WD 2.5 TD 1995 falied MOT on Nearside Brake Caliper.
I have located a breaker with a Nearside Rear Brake Caliper from a 97 Bongo but mine as mine is a 1995 Bongo will it be compatable?
Thanks for any advice in advance

Not cheap, but only place I'm aware of that sells refurbished calipers:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-BONGO-1 ... 1c315389b7
or you can buy the seals on their own:

May be worth contacting these people to see if they can supply them. Mate of mine has just has some for his Mazda 6 so they have be able to assist:

Thanks for your help Simon, much appreciated.... I was tipped off about a guy in Middlesbrough who is breaking a Bongo, so managed to get one off that, it is on
and passed its MOT
fingers crossed it behaves itself
If anyone in North East region wants the number of the guy who is breaking his Bongo PM me
I also got the rear discs, pads, front pads, rocker gasket, timing belt all replaced as a matter of course because our Billybongobus is worth it. Looking at getting the metal cooler pipe (drivers side) replaced next as it looks like the salt and NE seaside winds have caused a wee bit of rust and corrosion
