TD5 front brakes
are these any better than the standard solid setup at the front? I recon the defenders going to fail on the fronts, got an imbalance, which was " corrected for the MOT" I really think its had a bent MOT put on it, we did sort out the suspension, how can a car pass with a leaky damper?? Laugh was they replaced the two turrets for the test, and then passed it, We have since replaced the full works anyway. So its going to be interesting on what the tester I use picks up! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

sounds good to me, pj2106 I will see what happens with the MOT, I have got a full blown kit on ebay I am watching. I will be doing the rear discs too, just that the full works is new. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I stuck vents on my v8 90 only last week, I originally bought a fully reconditioned military axle which came with new brakes, though solids. With it being an auto, it's quite heavier on the brakes than a manual, so after 400 miles I decided change them.

No worries procta let is know how you get on I would recommend genuine calipers over some cheaper makes from experience pistons tend to faulter on cheaper ones 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid)
