“Well, went to fit the caliper today, went to test piston adjustment. felt very rough and "wrong" piston wound out but will not wind in at all...so faulty out of the box, sending back for a full refund, very disappointed.”

“Not fitted yet but seems much better quality than my last "reconditioned ones" grease and washers are now included. Whole caliper looks like brand new. Lets hope it functions as such. 1 star removed as i think listing should state washers are included (as i ordered 2 ) and there is no return label or any mention of how to return, i get not including a prepaid but a simple return label would help.”

“International customers, do NOT buy this item.The return shipping is not included in the price, and carriers that accept private customers will typically charge upwards of 30 GBP to ship a caliper to the UK. The Swedish/Danish Postal Service (PostNord) charges 330 SEK for the return shipping.I will just throw away the old caliper and consider the 35 GBP surcharge forfeited, but if I had known this before I would have bought a new unit instead, or one supplied by a local dealer.”

“Drove down and had one of these fitted to my Mk1 by Sean, the in house mechanic. Old one had to be cut off, Sean did a great job for an extremely reasonable cost. Driving down also saved me the hassle of sending back the old calliper. Highly recommended.”

“Having purchased in December 2012 to replace a 'sticking' Caliper, am a little disappointed that now (May 2014) I am needing to order a replacement as the Caliper no longer self adjusts for the handbrake (which has of course caused an MOT failure). Following adjustment it slackens off again every two or so months. However, I may just have a dodgy one.In all honesty I don't believe the refurbished Caliper ever properly worked correctly (with respect to self adjustment). Whereas the original caliper on the offside is working fine despite being nigh on 15 years old now.If it weren't for the GBP35.00 refund upon return of original, it would be far more cost effective to buy the aftermarket version.Can't criticise the delivery time of the original and hope the replacement is also received in good time.”

“I bought one of these in August 2012 and had it professionally fitted. When I put the car in for its pre-MOT inspection I was told that it would fail because of the leaking brake caliper. I\'m afraid that it has turned out to be a totally false economy. The car has only done a few thousand miles since the caliper was fitted and now I\'ll have to fork out for a repair/replacement.Editors Note: Sorry to hear that you have experienced problems with this item. All our parts carry a full one year warranty from the date of purchase which this is still covered by so a member of the sales team will be in touch shortly to arrange a replacement or refund.”

“Excellent Service as usual. Delivered next day to garage (who had spent 2 hours trying to source from their own suppliers) and returned old caliper for refund...great value!”

“Great value!My local Mazda dealer asked 250 euros for brake calliper and with a total of 155 euros you can't beat the price. According to my local garage the the calliper was very easy to fit and of a good quality.The reason of 4 stars? There is no explanation on how to send the old brake calliper back. I am a bit disappointed in the customer service of MX5 Parts as I only received very short answers back and had to ask the same question two times in order to get a good response.”
