My front offside caliper is sticking and has worn the pads right down. I managed to get the piston back using a G clamp and fitted new pads yesterday but the wheel is still getting warm.

I've priced up a s/ex caliper and they're running at about £85 each. I've just seen a pair of remanufactured ones for an X5 for £87 for the pair.
Are they the same? Photo in the ad suggests they are

Thank you

These any good to you? http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/front-brake-ca...33003.html

Cheers. I've not bought any Britpart items before. Any good?

not got the best reputation for some parts, but island 4x4 have, so I can't see them not working... it really depends on how long you intend to keep the car, a few years you should be right, but if it's a long term affair then it might be better to go for something better. I'm sure that someone will enlighten us as to the life expectancy of these calipers  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

If you have alternative means of transport and can have the RR off the road for a week or so I have found it to be more economical to have your originally calipers remanufactured, I use bigred in Worcester.
