burbleboy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm just off the phone to Euro Car Parts and there selling calipers for £74 + vat each (that's with trade discount). But there's a £30 surcharge on top of that (but you get that back anyway). SUMMARY..... there's an initial outlay of £104 + vat per caliper to put it into perspective. Then get £30 back when old one returned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not bad, I assume they're reconditioned ones and they take your old ones in exchange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can end up with new but would they really be worth it when you can make the original ones good again etc etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Personally would prefer the originals refurbed. If it's a good job, they'll be like new anyway!?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on an exchange basis too but I guess if you can live without your car for a week they could probably refurb yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to live without. Unless you go the long way, but a pair, have them returned, put them on and then sell yours and hope you get the same price!
