Eurocarparts are good for replacment calipers, about £50 each exchange.
I did look on their website but the prices were quite high for the rears, but I think there is a new ish branch opened in Norwich so do some investigating into that one cheers!

Jack the car up and take the wheel of. Undo the two philips screws (they may need drilling out) undo the two bolts on the slider with the 12mm spanner. Lever the caliper of. If you can pull the pins out do so and clean and grease them up. (dont take the rubber dust guards out of the carrier they are not easy to get back in). If not undo the two bolts holding the caliper to the hub so you can do it on the bench.

Wind the piston back in clock wise with a flat bar, just a little to put it back to gether.

I think you are a little to far away but I would be happy to do it for you
I will have a look at the caliper tomorrow or Monday, but they are new slider bolts on there. I think it's the caliper itself but I will know more upon inspection. I am not sure about how to go about getting the spring from the handbrake off. Do I just loosen it from the nut inside the car then unclip the spring on the caliper. There is a couple of scrappies near Norwich so might be worth giving them a try but the chances of them having a 180 osr calliper are quite slim I think.
Thanks for the offer, it always seems to be that hardly anybody is from around here.
