Do you know anyone in the trade? See if they can get one at discount for your from Andrew Page or ECP etc..?
I had to get a replacement O/S/R caliper at the weekend and the list ECP price is £142 (inc £30 surcharge), I paid £68 thanks to a garage.

If it's just sticking and binding, cleaning & getting rid of the corrosion on the carriers, lubing with a decent anti-seize paste (silver types are better than copper) where necessary, and replacing the sliders works wonders.

It's one of the four kits at the bottom of the page, but you'll need to check your existing guide size.
