It's a TRW caliper, so I got one from carparts4less for £96 exchange. The irony is, the Volvo stamp is still visible where they've ground it back!. Fitted and bled in less than an hour on the driveway.

Yeah that's what I thought too - that the like s of Gates and others made water pumps and other components for various Manufacturers and sold excess stock with serial nos ground off. So the quality is the same as long as you select supplier carefully.
