Just taken the red L28E Turbo engined 240Z for a final check and test before run up to Silverstone on Thursday, thought I was all set, head gasket issue sorted, fuel leak sorted, MSD ignition box signalling issues sorted, 5 miles up the road and the near side front brake caliper seized in a cloud of smoke, tried to limp home and lost the brakes completely on steep downwards hill, brake fluid had overheated and pedal went to the floor, brown trouser moment, frantic cadence braking using the handbrake just managed to keep me from rear ending the van in front...........
Looks like not going to be able to get brake issue sorted in time as need to leave Devon early Thursday morning so really need to pick up a new caliper and pads tomorrow
Anyone have any ideas who if anyone may stock within 50 miles of Exeter ?
It is Toyota part, fitted to 4Runner and maybe some other models ?
Not the usual SW12 Hilux type but larger SW13B
Here is eBay link to correct part but this can only be delivered Thursday which will be too late so need to find someone who has one in an actual store/factors etc
