sticking rear caliper

[happylad]

Help, One of my rear calipers is sticking. My mechanic ha already tried to fix my handbrake which failed but diagnosed this failure. Can anyone advise if it can be fixed OR where i can get a reasonably priced replacement. My guy just wants to change it but is quoting £130 plus pads plus fitting.

Is the £130 for the calliper? If so, have a look on eBay. Pretty sure I've seen some around £40.

You can get reconned ones for about £40 each side as mentioned.

What also might be worth trying is the "helper" spring mod - I'll see if I can find a link for you. It'll cost <£10
