A warning for you lot on eBay trader grahams125

[Skifledanabit]

I bought a rear right reconditioned caliper off this guy on eBay last year (12th April 2011). Took the car out last night, got to the end of the driveway to go onto a busy fast road, put my foot on the brake, nothing, had to quickly rip the handbrake up to stop before flying out into the middle of the road.

Got my mate to have a look at it today, turns out the seal behind the reconditioned handbrake rod failed suddenly and without warning only one year and not even 3000 miles later. Which sucked.

Emailed the seller, grahams125, needless to say, he accepted no responsibility, didn\'t care, said that even original parts can fail (yeah, they can, my original took 21 years and 109,000 miles to fail though).

So just to warm you to keep clear of his stock, they don\'t work.
