    I have bought a few bits off them in the past and they were always helpful.
    However, I sometimes found their prices weren't always as competitive as GSF or ECP (in Belfast).
    ECP certainly do reconditioned calipers (I think you may need to give them the old one also). www.eurocarparts.com

    They once had a website but apparently removed it as it took the about 3/4 hour to add a new product(!?!) so there is no way to get prices other than phone or call in.

    Have you tried breakers for a caliper or even get your own one reconditioned?

    I used to find OTTO very good when I had MkII's, (I distinctly remember buying a carburettor manifold mount for £16 inc VAT-Belgard Motors wanted £80+VAT for the same, tossers) but I found them more expensive than GSF for suspension parts on my 98 Passat. Suppose it depends where you live too-GSF are handier for me.

    I checked ECP and the cost/bother of going the reconditioning route is a pain, I know a breakers yard with a 190e down in Tullow so I'll proberly give them a call and see if i can collect on Friday.
