Urgent help

Hi All,

I replaced my 850 rear brakes today and stupidly broke (dropped my tools on) both the rear caliper springs. The pins are fine but the springs are long gone.

The issue is that i have my MOT tomorrow and really need to get them sorted.

Does anyone have any spare? I live in Cheltenham so prepared to travel.

I am presuming these are needed for the MOT, if not i will leave them off and replace them once the is over.

Andy

If the pins are in I wouldn't worry too much about the springs, obviously they will need replacing but it shouldn't impair the braking ability of the car if they are missing so I doubt it will fail the test for the brakes unless something else is wrong - Mike
