Caliper spring

Post by Frontman » Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:37 pm

Hi folks, does anyone know where I can get an offside front caliper spring, just failed MOT and am hoping I can get a spring without having to purchase the brake caliper, hub, brake disk and front wing. any help or part number appreciated.
Cheers Col.

Have a look on RealOEM.com here and put your last 7 characters of your VIN into 'serial number' which pulls up your model,  and see if it's available as a spare.  There are 'exploded' drawings for all the parts if you choose 'Images Drill Down'.

Are you talking about the caliper retaining clip as in ITEM 7 HERE?

If so then about £8 from the dealers. Just need your chassis to get the right size one.
