for what it's worth you can make a pin similar with a bit of tough wire, it's just to stop the slider coming out and launching the brake pad. done that myself before. ECP probably do pad fitting kits but make sure you didn't goose the piston or the disc, but chances are you're fine to just throw some pads in and a slider / kit

Same caliper on clios

Could be the pad isn't well made and doesn't fit quite right, allowing the slider and pin to come loose

Usually down to the fitter tbh either the springs don't get put on properly or are bent out of shape so they don't actually press the pads in and they fall out.

Yeh i changed the rear pads and i think the problem was that the pin had worn back and so didnt fit as tightly as it should. Which tbh on my part i should have fitted new ones but oh well lesson learnt lol. But managed to get out on track today and loved it so here comes parts list for next track action lol
