Hi folks. I know it’s a bit cheeky and should really be in the parts section, but I’m in a bit of a bind and wondered if anyone please has a working front nearside brake caliper for a V6 available for sale?
I really need my Omega on the road and I have a totally stuck caliper.
Am very happy to collect and / or cover postage as well as the cost of the part :y

Are they the same as used on the f/l 3 litre? If so I've seen new ones listed on e-bay[about £107 each :o or there was recently[could still be listed]second hand ones from a breakers for about £28 each.A rebuild kit from I think Biggred is about £32 for the pair of fronts.
-
Yes same as 3.0.
I can’t see any anywhere on eBay. There’s a right one but not a left. I may message the seller and see if he has one.
There is also a left caliper from Germany at £133. Price is fine but takes too long to arrive
-
I'd definitely consider[in fact I am for my 3L]one of Biggreds rebuild kits.You get new pistons seals and grease and if previous experience is anything to go by delivery is within 2 days,depending on time of day ordered.

2.5 , 2.6 + 3 L all the same front ?? IIRC only 2L and 2.2 have smaller brakes :-\
clicky £26.50 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404315262710)
edit ****
actually it looks like the seller has his pics mixed up :-\
the passanger side is this one surely :-\ (nipple to the top )

All Omegas, petrol and diesel, have same 296mm front brakes with the exception of pre 1998 2l, which had the 286mm brakes from the Senator.

Looks like this guy has a full set of calipers from the same car. plus most of the rest of the car to go with it. :y

James, sent you a WhatsApp (not a pm) about the availailabilty of a new (remanufactured) front left caliper availble from a company in Coventry at very sensible money (including P&P , less than half the Germany price you gave). I used their calipers previously on other cars and they have have been absolutely fine. Just another option for you if you are still stuck (no pun intended....) :y

and i've mentioned the calliper at altham that we both saw on saturday although condition unknown but nodoubt would be ok judging by what we saw
-
and i've mentioned the calliper at altham ....
It's been a long while since I've been there ....its not too far from me.
-
it's a good hour or so from me but might be going again soon if you still need a calliper

Hi folks thanks for all the help. Sourced a known good pair. Wishbone bushes next - noticed during brake installation that the rear bushes are shot
