Where to get brake caliper for 2001 Almera

    I have a 2001 Almera and the front passenger side brake caliper has seized. I went to a scrap yard and got two different ones and only one of them is barely usable. The mechanic phoned around a few of the local parts places and none have any in stock.

    It's looking like we will probably have to order the part but I need it kind of quickly and I've a sinking feeling the dealers might take a week or more to get the part, if they can.

    Is there anywhere online I could order from that would deliver quickly? I'm based in the north so UK places would be ok to use and should be quick for delivery.

    Thanks.

    Not sure where you are based but my brothers Almera got rear ended and insurance has payed out and the car was taken to the scrapyard today, we had only done all brakes on it a month previously for NCT so they are all perfect, it went to Duleek breakers in Meath, the car is in excellent condition , it also has 2 month old headlights on it (common Almera fault) incase you need any more parts.

    Thanks. I'm in the north so it might be a bit of a trek.

    My car went through the MOT up here two weeks ago and the calliper seized just the other day :(

    There's another breakers place I can try up here. Will have to give them a call tomorrow.

    Managed to track down a refurbished part. Apart from one small difference where the notch is for the brake pipe (hole for the brake pipe is in a slightly different place), it's identical. Hopefully it will work.
