Seen them for 50 quid new on eBay, would you go for it? Seams cheap in comparison to euros at 170 with surcharge.

Why risk second hand when new is not much more? I'd never take a punt on secondhand brakes.

if one has gone, the other side won't be far behind it.
I would always change both at the same time for peace of mind

Perhaps not an ebay special, but yes, calipers are relatively cheapMy D3 Build Thread

Roughly £65 if you include forum discount from Advanced Factors for a new one that you know will fit and work... no brainer I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Just ordered one off eBay £49 delivered. Worth a go. If the other side fails then I’ll replace that as and when.
I’ve bought second hand calipers before, bought a rear one off here about 3 years ago for 20 quid and it’s still going strong. Nowt up with second hand calipers. You buy 4 when you buy a second hand car 😂
