Ken.

I had a full set of 4 refurbished by Big Red some years ago on my old MFL.

As I didnt want car off the road I bought the cheapest set I could find off fleabay ,which when arrived looked horrible and rusty with pistons seized and seals all split.

Sent them to Big Red and in less than 10 days had all 4 back looking like they were brand new.All seals/pistons renewed along with high quality colour coating of your choice and think the 4 were sub £400 delivered and returned.

My advise would be to see how much they would charge as I can say their work and service was 1st Class

That's triply annoying, as the company I mentioned I am certain was Bigg Red - so if they refurb them I have no idea why they weren't able to supply the right caliper slide pins. I am sure their work is of top class, and no wish to bad mouth them, the item I got was very good quality, low price, looked great, just the wrong size.

They offered another one, which they thought would fit, but I never got round to following it up. As I say, no wish to bad mouth them, because by that time I'd sourced replacement low-mileage slide bolts from an actual Omega.

The ones they had by 'their records' fitted Omega, but trust me, they don't, unless their records are Opel Omega/Omega A, or perhaps even early 2.0 Omega Bs only. After borrowing a nearby tool shop's digital calipers I measured the original pins, sent them the dimensions and they offered me another set which were 'nearly there' (I seem to recall correct diameter, just slightly shorter, which in theory would be fine, but fitting pins that were technically too short didn't feel ideal). As I say, by that time I had got some original GM ones (you can't buy them on their own from Vx, by the way) so never bothered to follow it up, for the above reasons.  :)

If anyone wants some for a Seat Alhanbrambrhaha let me know  :y
