Well thats between you and him. Either way, he should be insured.

If you don't want to persue that line, then you need to find someone who will replace the hub, look at getting the wheel refurbed, and sorting out the brakes.

I certainly wouldn't be using that garage again.

TB no i wont be using him again,i would like to take you up on your offer.As you are only 50 odd miles from me.Do you think it would be a good idea to bring a new caliper,with me.As i don't want to waste yours and my time if you say the caliper is knackered.Dean

Not seen many seized rear calipers on Omegas, and not any on cars that are used.

Moggy your caliper will be ok , it will just need jamie and his sammy to wack sorry persuade  the piston to retract to allow the new pads to go in.
A good clean and brush with a wire brush will see the job done and jamie is the man to sort it.

On my old blue Omega the o/s/r caliper seized on the inner piston,left the new pad out of that side,took off the lining of the old pad and refitted so the piston didnt't come out of the caliper,then had a friend put gentle pressure on the brake pedal to ease it out,gentle persuasion to push back,didn't take long to operate as it should do,new pad then went in..HTH..Wayne
