Put new pads and discs on the back at the weekend and noticed that one of the rear piston gaitors looks a little suspect and not longed for this world

Does anyone know where I can get a new one from, or if its even possible? service box didnt help me much Sad

This is little rubber boot/gaitor bit (ps Owain I borrowed your photo)

they are dust seals, they stop crap getting onto the piston and stop it seizing up

brakeparts.co.uk do them, as do BigRed etc.. not too dear and really easy to change. they just slip over a lip on the caliper

next question is, is it 30 or 32mm ??

as apparently they changed in 97 and mines an R reg made in 97, or did they just change from phase 1 to phase 2/3??

all 6's have 32mm pistons, though it doesn't affect the dust cover as they're the same on a 30mm piston.

IIRC the peugeot-citroen rebuild kit comes with both 30 and 32mm piston seals anyway, they use the same kit on the 306 as they do the 205 which only used the 30mm pistons.
