After letting the garage look at my squeaking Fabia, they have told me I need a new brake caliper.

 

They want to charge me £130+VAT for a green one, cheapest I can find is £105 delivered on Ebay.

 

Yet a standard silver caliper is £37.50? Is this green paint special?

Can anyone find one cheaper or am I wasting my money buying the green one, I suppose is the question.

Hi HBR, suppose you have to ask yourself, can i afford the green one,do i really want a green one, could i paint the silver one green myself ??? This is from a man, who, for the first time in 50yrs of motoring, painted his front calipers, GREEN. You only really have to answer yes to one of the questions,to get your answer.

Try TPS in Bletchley.

I've got some second hand ones coming from off here, will see what they are like.

 

Fingers crossed!
