Default Interesting...

I'm following this thread with interest, for the day when I finally get round to sending off my spare (& seized..) set of calipers which have been in my garage for 2 years+

Your post has given me hope that they don't screw up every job they do!

Well finally an update. Caliper was back today and upon inspection all seems fine. However, the colour did not match the other one, the new one being more 'silver' and the OEM one 'greyer'. So, it's on the car for now and the other one is being sent off at my convenience and at (mostly) Audi's cost.

One plus point, they did repair the 'plugged' inner nipple.
