Scrap yards should have plenty, you can also use the Jaguar X Type caliper too!

There is a place here in liverpool called ford mondeo spares center. Where do you live? I would happily collect some if they had them and meet you half way? Providing you don't live in india and you can't get some closer.

rear calpers, for the estate, 2002 BUT a 51 plate if that makes any difference

i'm in southall, west london and i'm sure there used to be a place in fletham that did brake calipers and stuff but can't find them now

it's not like i'm going to miss tomorrow unless the fleet manager says "no, you can't go in the van" , which reminds me, got to ask him

fuck the pics, i've fixed it
yay me

the reason it wasn't going back into the caliper is that the threads on the nearside caliper for the handbrake are theother way around, ie left hand so while i was pushing it in, it was trying to com eout, so thats whyit's fooked

handbrake still don't work mind but i have a cunning plan for that, i've already stripped the caliper down to it's component parts (too messy to get pics unfortunatly) but i've refitted it all back together so a trip round the block will show up how effective rear brakes are on a car
