I'm not sure how usual it is to replace just the caliper, retaining
the old disc and pads.

If they are in good nick why not?



Under what circumstances would you replace the caliper?

Seized / worn piston(s). Scored bore / Leaking?

Surely, unless
it was physically broken - which that one didn't appear to be - it would
be cheaper to refurbish it with new seals, etc.

Wasn't there some talk of changing the rules re d-i-y brake
refurbishment?

Many garages won't refurb because it's often cheaper to replace (in
labour terms) and less risk to them should something go wrong.
