Wanted: B5 S4 passenger front brake caliper

Went to put a new set of red stuff pads on the car today, and while I got the driver's side done easily, I've got a stuck caliper piston on the passenger side and was beaten by it. Judging by the uneven wear rates, it's been like it for "some time". I'll have to stick the old pads back on the driver's side tomorrow :(

I *could* faff endlessly - and probably unsuccessfully - with it, or I could see if anyone's upgraded to bigger & better things, and has one spare.

I'm near Cambridge, for what it's worth, and my car is a 2000 model year (Aug 1999 registered) so has the later calipers. I'll collect if anyone's close enough with one.

So, er, help!?!?

Cheers,

Not exactly close to you ( East Sussex ) but have a front set of facelift lucas calipers in my shed if your interested. All working fine , just removed for the RS4 upgrade. Car is a Dec 2000 and they were removed at approx 84k, would prefer not to split though so make me an offer for the pair if you want :wink:

Oh god, the ominous words "make me an offer".

Seriously, I have no clue what these things are worth...

I did unstick the piston today, but at 178k miles it's a ticking timebomb of an issue. So, I'll do some research on the price front...

Cheers,
