Front Hub Woes - can anyone help?

Went to replace my discs and pads this morning only to find one of the chrome caliper slider screws has a chewed thread and someone has butchered it. I'm going to have to source a used hub.

A couple of questions: are these much the same on petrol and diesel cars? Mine is a AMF 2002 1.4tdi.

I don't suppose anyone in Devon has one for sale?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info.

Bought a used hub off eBay in the end. Arrived at 11.45 today and car back up and running before 13.00. Luckily the drive shaft came out easily. £50 worse off but would be a darn sight more if I were paying a garage and running something newer!

MOT rearranged for tomorrow. Front end should be all good now, with new Bilstein B4 struts, springs, mounts, discs and pads.

The nice thing is the car just keeps getting better to drive since buying and fettling it. It's the cheapest car I've bought in years but I'm strangely attached to it.

Just a little play in the inner tie rod rack joint - these look straightforward to replace, anyone done one?
