Urgent - anyone got a spare (and working) O/S/F caliper ?

**outnumbered** · 23-03-2010, 04:58 PM

Annoying news this morning... The cause of my slightly sticky front brake is that the seal on the offside front caliper has gone and so the piston's corroded. The garage reckon it needs a new caliper, and BMW say CSL calipers are on back order currently.

Does anyone have a stock CSL caliper in decent condition they'd be willing to sell (sitting on the shelf after you installed your BBK perhaps )?

Short lived panic... although I was told a couple of weeks ago the calipers were out of stock at BMW UK, apparently they're now back in again... so with any luck I'll have one tomorrow.

I'm in Reading too and think I've got one you can have - need to check the condition though as it has been sat in the garage for years!

But then...why would you travel from Reading to mine...when Nathan is in Reading ????
