Unless you fancy stripping down your current caliper, and refurbing it then yes.

that's what I thought is there a good after market one or has it got to be gen?

I got a front one for the front of my C70 from Euro Car Parts, they're service exchange, so they'll want your old one back.

Don't know the exact details of your car, so that may not be the correct one, but I think all but Rs use the same rear caliper, obviuosly you may need the other side, to the one I've posted.

Are you sure it's not the handbrake shoes ?.

I have this problem at the moment on my R. Have managed to live with it for many months by just reversing 2ft before driving off. It unsticks the handbrake shoes. If I park on the flat, ie, at home then I don't bother with the handbrake. I know the problem is not the caliper and it is almost certainly the handbrake cables. They will be getting replaced in the next couple of months along with new discs and pads all round and new handbrake shoes + the P1 mod.

Could be the cables?

I bet the car behind you loves that and do you only drive into a parking space with a wall in front

I also had this problem with my rear drivers side caliper. It was sticking so bad that there was smoke coming from the disc!

Try pulling the rubber dust seal back and spraying brake cleaner in to the piston.

On mine, where the dust seal fits on, was rusted and the seal burst off in my hand, so I just took the seal off altogether and gave the piston a good clean and spray with the brake cleaner.
This has freed mine off.

You can get a new dust seal as part of a repair kit off Ebay.

Oh, I just imagined you at traffic lights with cars behind you, and you reverse before going forward.

No you donut! I don't put my hand brake on at traffic lights.....who does? I just hold the car on my foot brake.
I just meant if I'm parked in a carpark.
