Thanks for all the help guys you lot are amazing :)
I spoke to Brakes International this morning, confirmed they have the part in stock and it is the correct one. =D>
A quick call to the garage and a compromise was reached, they agreed to buy the part and get it shipped to them, if you take the Vat off it is about £72 inc shipping, i will pay them half cannot say fairer than that 8-)
Fingers crossed it will arrive by noon and i can collect my beloved old gal at close of business. [-o<

Kenny thanks for the heads up, they were so helpful on the phone, explained what they could/couldn't do over the phone and checked all the info i had given them to check the part was correct.
My trusted garage are well impressed and i believe they are in the process of looking into what BI can do to help them give another " Non Motor Factors " option if that makes sense.
I actually ordered the part just after 11am but was informed if ordered before 15:30 it would be delivered next day as standard if in stock, i paid an extra £4 and asked for before noon, it arrived @ 10:14.
A big thanks to you all but a special thanks to Andrew who not only offered but has supplied me with a pair of rear calipers that i can now add to my stock for when as usual something goes pear shaped, unfortunately the garage needed the 4 post for other jobs and speed was priority.

Really this place is awesome, everyone doing whatever they can to help each other keep our beloved French Cars on the road =D> =D>
