Well. We're getting there.

New rear calipers arrive today - something else for me to rein the weekend.

I once over heard a wise man say something 'if it ain't broke best fix it' assuming I heard that right what exactly does mean?

I've always taken that good advise but doesn't really seemed to worked for me?

I think you have mis-quoted there.

I thought it was "if it isn't broken, fix it until it is" Whistle Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

I'm guessing a sticking / seize piston would explain why I had a varying feel to brake pedal when applying brake ie sensitive then less so.

Come fit my shiny new calipers and would appear the disc is about 5mm too big / calipers too small but only a wee bit?

Evil or Very Mad

Looks like the old ones are gonna have to go back on. Sad


I'm guessing these aren't for a 110 my 2010 with abs?

And discs look a bit glazed over / shiny / like glass

Either wrong parts or faulty/poorly made parts.

There are at least two widths of 110 rear caliper, as they made them wider to improve rear pad life at some point in the run.

I'd rather fit Bearmach than anything halfords can offer. Fitted many Bearmach disks/pads/calipers over the year and never had any dramas with them.

Thanks mate.

Just back from a wee drive. Brakes seem fine but it's just a matter of time with the pistons being corroded.

I have to say the truck seems to be behaving beautifully and i'd go as far as to suggest mechanically my wee little drive was perfect Very Happy

So I'm thinking the brakes my be my last issue and i'm tempted fix it in a celebratory way - what brakes are going to fit that bill with 16" wheels?
- originals with s/s pistons
- above professionally painted
-any othe options?
