Has anyone got any tips on changing the front callipers on my K reg xantia 2L. Haven't done a job like this before, only fitted brakes so as such info as possible. Thanx[;)]

Providing you have the right torx tool to fit the bolts, it's straight forward. Jack up and use axle stands. Remove wheel and brake pads. Put a container underneath, undo the union and disconnect the hose. Plug the end and keep it clean. Use the torx tool on the two bolts and take off the caliper. Put it all back and bleed the brakes. Maybe worth renewing the discs if they need it.
