It is a very good search facility.
Yesterday I wanted to find out the spark plug gap, found it within seconds, 0.6 mm. :)

You may have to wait if you go to Brakes Int. (or they may have been stringing me along!) but I sent them the passenger side calliper back as it rattled due to worn bushes.......they returned it to me with new bushes stating they didnt have a replacement in stock and would have to wait for someone to send in one for refurbishment before there would be one available. Thankfully for me the only thing wrong was the bushes so I'm sorted, but if what they were saying is right you might have to send yours to be overhauled.

Billet 4's are £142+VAT

The handbrake version will be a little more so still only around half the price of a Renault caliper!
