I have had an aftermarket one on the rear for over 2 years with no issues. I will be buying 2 front ones soon as dust seals have gone and I have already had to free the piston off.
Rears are about £40 each

I was pleased with some discs from here https://safe.brakeparts.co.uk/loadnew.html they have calipers too

Hi TaDa, when thinking about braking components it should be remembered that approx 75-80 of the total retardation force comes from the front brakes, so the rear brakes play a considorably less pronounced role.
Also, when doing any work on braking (or suspension) systems it is strongly advised to do axle sets, not just one caliper.
thebiglad - Fair point - I'll bear that in mind - though I'd like to think that only applies to pads and discs - but I need to check out the state of the other caliper on the rear axle (and the fronts too) so I can do them all in one fell swoop.
SierraFerry - they certainly seem to have middle of the road prices - I'll check them out further.
Cheers all

We put new calipers and carriers on the back of my dads p38, (same parts as a td5) and when we collected them from our local indi supplier the calipers were either lockheed or girling, (can`t remember which one), but the carriers were all makes. No problems with either since fitting.
