[Wanted] Discovery 3 Rear Caliper
I am looking for a passenger rear brake caliper for my 2004 2.7TDV6 Discovery 3. Or maybe a pair if they are like new please, as mine has seized completely. Ideally as near to Tunbridge Wells in Kent as possible please.
Thank you.

I'm not sure you've got the hang of this car wrapping business
New ones aren't that expensive from around £30 a side depending on the make

The ones that are about £30 are a of a certain brand I would never use for mechanical components But what I am hoping is that someone ordered some better branded calipers, sold there Discovery and found them at the back of a shed or garage or something so I can buy them for mine. Not in a rush though as my Discovery isn't being used at the moment.

Unsure of which brand you’ve seen that you don’t think are good enough, but I’ve not had any problems so far with the ones from AF at £37.60 and forum discount 🤷♂️

Britpart is the brand I am talking about. I have never had a good experience with Britpart parts for anything other than air and pollen filters. Everything I have ever fitted in the past has lasted a matter of months rather than years. So avoid them like the plague. They are the only ones at under £40 new. I can live without the car to wait and get the extra money together for a better quality brand.
