YRV - seized brake calipers. Parts help please

Forum: 

Hello,

Im new here and only had my YRV for a month (good start i know)

I've had my front two brake calipers seize up on me and cant find spares anywhere.

I've had a quote from a garage for Calipers, pads and disks at £600!!

It's a YRV 2002, 1.3 4trak and i struggle to believe this to be a good price.

can anyone help, anyone at all?

please!

thanks James

Not everywhere obviously.....

Hi,

Welcome to the madhouse. Sorry to read about your issue with the brakes.
As for parts then you haven't looked at Ebay.

The YRV Brakes discs on your model are the 234mm diameter type. As you see from the link above from a search on ebay for 'Daihatsu YRV Brakes', discs and pads can be bought cheaply enough.
As for Brake calipers then it's either get your calipers off and be sent for refurb. Or buy a second hand working pair from a breaker car. Note do not buy the YRV Turbo ones unless you are looking for a brake upgrade to the 246mm Discs on the front.
Also the Mark 1 or 2 Daihatsu Sirion front discs should also fit the standard YRV car worth also speaking with a Ebay trader called 'patch2spots';

Bobf also has used a caliper refurb company which evades me at the moment. So hopefully Bob should be along to confirm the details to you.

BobF, good candidate for a sticky please Smile
