   Get a rebuild kit, should be around £45 may aswell put a new piston in too.
   
   I personally wouldnt piss about with second hand brakes tbf, not sure how much they are on saxos for new though

   Exchange calliper from a motor factors wouldn't be that expensive.

   I bit the bullet and tried 2 rear calipers off another 03 vts and hit lucky.
