Parts have been delivered, was quite quick tbf, will definitely use Tasca again, thanks for the suggestion. £80 customs fees which at about £430 overall is still cheaper than buying parts here. And all looks about right for now, pads look to be the same as what's currently on the car and they...

Not a bad shout, it will need to be bled anyway. Do these have any special bleed or fluid change procedures?

I have just received an email saying the parts ordered wouldn't be compatible, it's a good job I saw this before replying to them It's strange how those parts appear when I search using my VIN, those parts numbers are the same as Levittown Ford quoted me. But it confused me how they're somehow...

Thanks for the recommendations. I went ahead and ordered from Tasca parts in the end and added the pads on anyway as I doubt they'd be much different price wise over here and saves me searching. American parts websites always seem so much better than what we get here, just enter your VIN and...

Iv had a look at Tasca Parts, think it works out to about £280 for 2 calipers with shipping which I don't think is too bad so might order from them. Pads and everything else I'd just look at getting in the UK, I'm sure they shouldn't be as difficult or expensive. I would have a look at...

Yeah I think it's the calipers mate, I got an AA patrol to clean the spring mechanism up at the rear and free them back in October, and didn't need to touch the tensioner bolt. And based on the calipers and brake disks I think the caliper is stuck at some point between on and off as it also...

Thanks, I'll email them. Can they ship direct to UK if you contact them? Iv previously used them for a fuel vapour hose and had to ship using Stackry, after Ford UK were confused about what I needed despite having the part number lol.

So back in October my car failed it's MOT on the handbrake efficiency. I was able to clean up the mechanisms on the caliper and it was working fine untill recently where I basically don't have a handbrake so I have to park in gear and it looks like the brakes are binding slightly. Im going to...

My car failed MOT in October for its handbrake. I managed to clean up the caliper and it was working fine untill recently so currently trying to find 2 new rear calipers without paying a fortune.

Just been having a look, yeah there's so many options :cwl:. I'll need to try and find the right ones I need and see how it compares to Ford over here or Levitstown Ford.

Ah no :frown: hope you were ok and everything worked out in the end. Yeah I definitely need new calipers, it failed MOT last year on the handbrake and I was able to take it off, clean up the mechanism, but now it's got worse and rolls with the handbrake up, so now my gearbox is my handbrake...

Is Rock Auto a good site? Looking for new rear calipers, handbrake has recently started failing and brakes are binding whilst driving.

Cheers, I haven't even looked for that yet, I did think it needed tightening though due to how high the handbrake was going up. Bit of WD40 on the rear spring of the caliper has loosened it up a bit and there's far less travel in the handbrake as a result and it seems to be engaging a lot more...

Hi, so just failed an MOT for a rear brake caliper/handbrake mechanism issue and also a front rear control arm. I think I may have solved, or at least improved the handbrake issue with a bit of WD40 worked into the handbrake spring at the rear of the caliper, if this doesn't meet the standard...

Caffeine and Machine in the sun.

I found this Groupon deal for £90 which makes it cheaper than going direct to them. https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/ats-euromaster-5 Iv thought about getting mine regassed, it never feels as icy as it once was, Im sure I remember it getting condensation around the vents... But on Monday and...

Had a new phone (Pixel 6 Pro)... So naturally had to test the camera out.

Thank you and yeah that's UK £ per litre unfortunately, 99 V-Power was £1.89 per litre if I remember right.
