Was doing my rear pads and discs today, when I happ'd upon the bottom bolt of the caliper carrier wouldn't tighten, and stripped off (Full Monty Style!!).

Now, where does one go looking for a new caliper carrier?!
I must have a gander and make sure it's not just the bolt...as that can be got anywhere

take a look at this picture of the rear brakes on your car, and see if you can see which part you think has broken. (click on the image to enlarge it)

It's what looks like 12 would attach to, if it were there

No panic, it was the bolt thread that had given way.

New 30mm M10 8.8, all sorted!!

NB : for those whose bolts give way, you can pick them up in a machine spares, 1.65mm pitch M10. They'll normally come with 17mm heads
