No 10 here John, 25-30 afaik from the dealers. Done one of mine about a year ago and it's still fine but all depends on the condition of the piston (don't get a new one in the kit). If the piston is badly rusted then just get a complete new caliper!

Yeah its the piston that is quite pitted, the seals and dust boot are fine.
Funny, it's started behaving itself again. I didn't get a chance to strip it yesterday due to social engagements.
Piston is shagged:

Gonna get a good used replacement caliper, this one is not an economical repair.
Temporarily cleaned it up to buy me some time.

You realise refurbished OEM calipers can be bought for around £80 sterling.
They're like brand new.
Enquire in your motor factors or GSF/Otto or the likes.
Yep I'll be getting a good used or refurbished replacement. This one is too far gone.Quote:

Conor H organised a refurbed front caliper for mine about a year ago,
think it was about €100
Rear calipers on the E46 seem to be dearer than the fronts for reburbed units for some reason I can't be arsed thinking about :DQuote:
