They are a great source of info too, things like brake disc widths/diameters etc etc. Ideal for working out what bits will allow you to fit bigger brakes etc etc.-This is what we did with the 200sx. I think after viewing a certain amount of pages it stops you, as it thinks you are stealing its data. They seem to be fairly competitive too.
That £26, one side?
Sorry i'm being lazy

i also got rebuild kits from bmw that cost about £35 for the pair of front calipers but you can buy an already refurbished caliper complete from ECP for around £45 which is new and shiny looking but if i remember rightly thats on an exchange basis.

I would think so, if you have it off the car, take it apart. See how crudded up the piston is. Any rust on it and replace. Brake fluid cleans them off quite well I found.Jhonno wrote:M3 calipers are £84 for LHS tho exchange

At the end of the day they are quite simple and the chances of it being anything other than the piston sticking is highly unlikely.
