Well, I said I'd was going to have the front calipers off the same car, I had the rears from, off Nigel (Omega)
I was going to do the same as the rears and send them off to be reconditioned
However last night, I was flicking through the bay, and found a brand new set of calipers complete with new pads, and with five mins to go, they were £19.99
20 secs to go, I thought sod it, and put a bid of £27 in, and won them for £26
They were for collection only, and were in Birmingham
I paid for them and sent the seller my phone number
He rang me about an hour later, and he said he worked at MIRA which is about five mile from me, and would drop them round to me
I envisaged spending £10 in diesel to collect them, and because of the fact I got the calipers and pads so cheap, I offered to give the guy some more money, but he flatly refused
Bit of a result!!
Feel bad for letting Nigel down, but have sent him a PM apologising
Also the K&N turned up today
