I am new to MX5s but have owned and been playing with cars and bikes for donkeys years,surely there is nothing unusual or different about MX5 calipers that they can't be overhauled without changing them? Sounds like the pistons are sticking which can be sorted by a half competent mechanic.

usually about 75e and we should have one but ideally bring the old caliper as sample just to be sure

Or a used one for £30 sterling http://www.autolinkmx5.com/brake-calipe ... 2570-p.asp

Yup, rebuild kits are £25.50 sterling not including the piston (which most of the time is not required for rebuilding the caliper)... http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info. ... cts_id/304

£30 for a used caliper is the going rate.
