Hi all.
I drive a 1.4 T-Jet Sport and my driver side rear caliper has failed.
The cheapest dealer price i can find is £230 for my particular model with the red paint.
I have also rang some local traders and getting quotes of £80 but non seem to have the red painted caliper, so i am assuming they are for the non sport models.

My question is, is the rear caliper the same in all bravo class? for example dynamic 120bhp, 90bhp etc. from what i remember the rear brake pads are the same size.

If so this would save me a lot of money, i can then paint the caliper my self.

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure the rear calliper is the same on all. I have this site bookmarked for t-jet parts.

It has different brake disks for the front depending on whether it's a t-jet 120 or 150. But only has one option for the rear. This leads me to think it's the same. I know this is just the disks so doesn't help with sourcing them. Here's this site so you can see yourself. http://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=s...7>)_1.4_16v_Turbo_Brake_Discs&cat=Brake_Discs

However if you buy one that isn't painted you could always paint them red yourself. A brush a tin or red paint from halfords and an hour of your time could help save you £££'s trying to find a sport calliper.

It appears the rear caliper is in fact the same on all bravos regardless of engine size, I had a look on the euro car parts website and typed in the reg of three bravos with all different engine sizes and they all were directed to the same part



Notice the your current vehicle is different in each pic.

I'm 99% sure the rear calipers are the same as on the Stilo. So you could get one from the breakers for much cheaper.
