Thanks for the reply! where is that from? I have just put one on order via motor parts direct which is a recon and thats going to be about £100

when I rung up about the £60 one it had gone

where do you guys source most your parts from?

Is it worth having a list of breakers yards that specialise in jap or nissan parts?

Heres some web based ones, I normally rely on these.

www.find-a-part.co.uk

www.sniffydog.co.uk/

www.247spares.co.uk/

www.breakerlink.com

www.breakeryard.com

www.nationalbreakers.com

Most are free but occasionally they change the terms and conditions and charge for recieving texts.

i only replaced my rear calipers last year for the mot, and they were 70 quid each exchange from my local motor factors (pcs)

I see, im not doing an exchange basis. Is it worth keeping the old one to sell on here at all? I'll ask my motor factors when I goto pick up the reconed product.

Cheers
