Caliper refurb
 

Just failed my MOT on rear calipers (both sides) binding and brake efficiency at 48%.

So need to get them refurbed quickly. Got 10 days to retest so does anyone know of a brake refurbishers in Norfolk or one elsewhere with a fast turnaround?

Cheers guys +++

dont audi do a repair kit of seals and new pistons? any halfway competent garage will be able to do it easily. infact its not that hard for a home mechanic to do, provided you have help to bleed the brakes :)

I've personally never used these but have heard of them through friends. Give them a quick call.

Or give it a go yourself as per Andy's link.

Hope you get it sorted +++

Thanks for the recommendations. Tried both companies today and neither would entertain the notion of refurbishment, offering replacements only (expensive ones too).

Very nearly sent them away to a refurb company but tried phoning A8parts at the last minute and they offered me a blinding deal for replacements on both sides, with delivery for tomorrow (cheers guys!!).

Will report back once they're all fitted and once the MOT HAS passed ;)

I was going to go down the rebuild route but decided that it was a better plan to buy refurbished Audi calipers from ECP. Saves a lot of time, there's a warranty, plus with new discs and pads the entire rear braking system is nice, shiny and as new.

Green Goblin, I saw a tidy D2 S8 this evening heading north along Caister Road next to the Heliport about 6:30ish. Was this you?

Nah, not me. It wasn't a black D2 S8, MY02, on 20s by any chance? I see it quite alot, think it might be a Final Edition. There's also a very nice D3 S8 near me in I think Dolphin Grey which I see alot. It has an aftermarket exhaust, S8 plate and sounds very nice indeed!
