no doubt there are not many left of your spec and it is indeed a fine example but other car wise i wouldnt rely on that particular site for any form of accuraccy. it list models in a strange way ,sometimes models that dont even exist !That would be the V8 :'(

To give you somewhere to pull yourself up fromLets hope its not a facelift saloon and one doesn't pop keys just in the boot before do bulb then close the boot with keys still in Thank goodness I have the MFL boot catch handle
or treat yourself to a 500g tub
ThanksIt's a wonder the only thing sticking is a caliper. Cars need a good run now and again.
I've had her from 6 months old (and a manual ) and tried to keep her all original, other than the Opel front grille which I could not resist as stumbled across it one day on Inter-web brand new in GM original parts box !!!! I prefer the Opel grill, she looks a bit more meaner
Rest assured, all tucked up in heated garage now for next 12 months.
I think I may have a sticky front N/S caliper (again) as I changed it a good few years ago now and noted inside edge of disk rust marks so I need to investigate. I fitted new origial GM front Brake and Pad kit (93175466) about 7 years ago, and hardly worn as probably done 5k on them.
Is there a new direct replacement for new Caplier ? (as a pair of course) which can simply bolt straight on and available new ? Probably want to keep OEM discs (but would put a new set on anyhow) , so can maintain original alloys ? or can I get a piston and seal refurbishment kit ?
Interested on others experiences and thoughts,
I'll pop wheel off and investigate at weekend,
TIA.
ThanksHave you cleaned and lubed the calliper slide pins ? and checked the pads move freely in the guides ?

refurb kits are available including new pistons ,slide pins and bushes etc (these can swell and cause binding if copper slip or other INCORRECT lubrication is used )
