Thanks jg, at least I know the equivilant calliper. Maybe worth keeping an eye out and getting some in reserve stock. Most likely gonna get harder to find!

Just for info the Renault calipers are not the same, Renault use a solid disc on the Savanna & Laguna at the rear so the caliper is not wide enough to take the vented disc & pads unless you use about half worn pads all the time, the Lotus/VX pads have less material on them but even with this you would need to use about half the material that new pads come with - also the pin is too short :)

If anyone has anymore rear caliper pins and springs feeling a little under the shed, lonely and looking for a good home they would be graciously received & lovingly homed :wub: (cue violin playing in the background)
