Contacted bigred so will see what they say, they do some 406 ones thst use 283x26mm discs

Any reason why? There's not much to the front calipers, a piston seal, new sliders (if they're worn) and new slider gaitors. Only bad news you may have is if the piston is buggered.

Try BrakesInternational too. They do refurbed calipers on exchange and are quick. 

Other than that, have you tried working the 'binding' caliper? I had one recently, and sorted it by splitting the caliper from the carrier, pushing piston back in with clamp slowly, and pumping it back out onto a suitably sized piece of wood via the pedal. Did this a few times and worked a treat since.
