So you supplied your local garage with a caliper from eBay ( unknown sources ) they fitted the caliper and all went well , a week later you pressed the brake the pedal hit the floor , you crash into the car infront smashing it to bits injuring the occupants .
Police come ,you say you had brake failure , police impound car for inspection and find caliper has cracked down the bleed nipple threads .with major fluid loss
You say such and such garage just replaced it for me , investigation officer goes to local garage , local garage owners says "yeah customer supplied his own parts so not my problem " Arrr but it is his problem now ,as he was the last 'expert' to have worked on said vehicle .
So garage owner speaks to his liability insurance man ..... liability insurance man says ," yes send in receipts of the part you supplied and your fitting invoice "..... which he does not have .
Liability insurance say null and void claim no pay out you did not supply the part , where does it go from here , two damaged cars and injurys claim from both party's ??
You will find that garages who fit customers own parts will stop doing so sooner or later as liability insurance is stipulating the issue of fiting parts supplied by the owner will not be covered in the event of a claim .

I see little point in your post other than to be inflammatory? Please explain what the point is if not for that?
Modern society in this regard is ****, there must always be someone at fault and someone must always pay and plenty of people like yourself who look for areas where solicitors can come and f*ck up a situation. You're not a solicitor are you?
Anywho, I don't want to be drawn into that.
£724 is the total cost to me. ECU blew for whatever reason, potentially suspect caliper, so I've returned the caliper and the specialist sourced their own caliper and ecu, so yay I get to BLAME THE GARAGE 100% when my car crashes in a brake failure related fireball in a weeks time, that makes me feel so much better!
Geez, some people really do know how to put a real downer on a situation, I was looking forward to getting my car back too!
