View Full Version : New brake caliper or not?

My front nearside brake caliper keeps seizing, and then I wonder why the mpg is so low! Seriously, it will free itself eventually, but I only use the car once or twice a week which I don't think is helping. The caliper does look quite corroded, but is it worth me messing with it or should I just replace it? £45.00 for a used one including fitting.

Try your local motor factors too, they do exchange calipers for not much more

Never fit a second hand caliper. Always new or refurbed.
