Does anyone know where I can get a front brake caliper seal kit?
I rang the BMW garage, and they want £21 per wheel, which I think is a bit steep for a couple of rubber seals.

if you've got the old one's then try anywhere that deals with tractor hydraulics.

they might have what you are looking for.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Is Big Red a zone member or a company, or both?
