F650 Front Caliper from Breakers?

I am in desperate need of a front caliper for a 1999 F650 from a breakers anywhere in the UK. I leave on a trip on Thursday next week and have just found a totally seized mechanism whilst replacing my pads.

I have tried a loads of UK breakers in the past, bur very few ever have BMW bits. Although there are rumours of a Breaker specialising in BMW's.....

Does anyone know if there is a BMW breakers??

Or better still where I can get a front caliper from without spending £200!!!

Cheers,

Heres hoping,

Dave

Hi Dave

There's also www.james-sherlock.co.uk who also posts same day. I've used him a few times and can recommend him.

Good Luck.
