Brake Caliper supplier reqd please

Our Scorpio has failed it's MOT on a ceased nearside rear brake caliper.
The garage says they can't find an aftermarket unit.
They are going to try soaking the caliper in WD40 overnight but don't have a "Plan B" (other than try Plan A again).
Can anyone suggest a possible supplier please?
Many thanks,
Bernard

Bernard, there are loads available new on www.ebay.co.uk. However, note the £84 ones are not right if you have vented discs rear.

I thought it might be that simple.
If my other half didn't insist we used this garage I'd have changed months ago. But it's her car and her money!
Many thanks for such a quick replies.
It is very much appreciated,
Bernard

the callipers can be easily stripped down and cleaned, seal kits are on ebay for peanuts, im pretty sure your handbrake arm will have rusted up due to the seal failing,
you need to take out the cylinder first by unscrewing it all the way out then the fiddly bit is getting the circlips out the bore, once all the self adjust mechanism is out the arm can be removed, ive added a link to a fully stripped calliper, may assist you or your garage
