TLDR : Answer Summary
A user in Thailand is seeking information about the UK equivalent model of their Toyota Vios and advice on where to find parts. Comments suggest that the Vios is not marketed in the UK, indicating difficulties in sourcing parts. Recommendations include looking for parts locally in Thailand, suggesting online platforms like Lazada and Shopee, and considering local markets in Bangkok that specialize in car and motorcycle parts. It's also advised to check the condition of the parts before making purchases.

There is a market in Bangkok that just does car and motorcycle parts, very cheap, the name escapes me but have a look at CB media on YouTube, he's just done a video on it

What year?

Engine size?

Find part number on Autodoc then search Thai sites using VPN set to Thailand.

Whats wrong with it? Why does it need changing?

Seized up? Free it off.

Leaking? Get a seal kit for it.

Look on lazada or shopee.

for a caliper sounds like this place is taking you for a serious ride.

They can also be rebuilt.

no just a local garage

ok. To me sounds ok for a major service on the brake calliper. Ask other garages around as I'm sure the other one will fail soon. Then I don't know the history of your car.
