Need 2 new rear calipers for my Mondeo (2ltr petrol). These do the trick?
Yep, be aware that the rear caliper design changed near the end of 2004 though so as long as your car was made before then, they'll be fine. Easy job, and they seem cheap!
Edit: Just seen it appears to be for a pair! Suspiciously cheap.

Saw them on euro car parts for £75 each, figured that was taking the mick a bit? Think they were Pagid ones. Is that the going rate for good ones then? 
It's what I'd expect to pay. By all means try the eBay ones, and let us know what they're like.

My insurance renewal seems to have dropped loads. I don't think it's down to getting another year's NCB as Admiral only care up to 5 years and I've gone from 8 to 9 years.
Just paid £377.42 for 12 months fully comp including NCB protection and the extra hire car cover. Voluntary excess is £250. Last year the same level of cover was £533.45.

Hope mine does the same.
Think mine was £700 with 20k miles with business insurance.
Will be changing it to 10k miles and just commuting next time round.

Mine was cheap this year too at £417

My ST220 is at a body shop at the moment. Finally getting those dents sorted.
They've given me a Citroen DS3 1.6 petrol as courtesy car. It's pretty nippy actually and quite smooth power delivery for a 4 pot. The steering is jelly though - no feel at all. The brakes have sent my head into the tiny windscreen a few times.
It's only done 500 miles on the clock so I'm going to be breaking it in for them
Fuel consumption is quite good given I'm treating it like a hire car.

What dents are you getting sorted and how much are you paying? 
Oh and I assume none of you 'orrible lot are coming to the RR then?

No RR for me, I'm working and couldn't get the day off. Would have liked to come.

The one below, a small one on the front passenger door and a scuff on the bumper under this dent.

The RR at Powerstation in Tewkesbury on Saturday
I'm going and running, yes. You know you want to come.
Amusingly, having just checked Google Maps, the distance from Chesterfield to Tewkesbury is exactly the same as Tewkesbury is from where I live. Nuneaton is about half as far. No excuses.

Is yours standard Howard ?
Almost - It has a JP exhaust and slightly modified airbox. Will be an interesting comparison to how it RR'd a couple of years ago (232bhp) when it was totally standard. I'm hoping for more, but prepared for less.

You don't have to get there at the crack of dawn, the runners just need to arrive around the opening time which is about 9am

Also, slightly modded airbox ?
