Due to yet another breakdown of my latest Land Rover Discovery, this time the brakes binding on the nearside I had to strip the brakes down. After looking at…

Hi Stereophile11, I need something for towing & a Jag wouldn’t really fit
the bill, if they ever make a true Jaguar 4×4 off roader type vehicle then
I would consider it. The S Type is only for business/long trips & days out
& my 1975 4.2 XJ6 is still in so many bits I may aswell scrap it because
it’s that rotten.
Morning marshall804, Not on the table but on a board over the hob! I mopped
it up with some bread and fried it for breakfast with an egg. I kept
choking as the bread kept stopping on the way down the hill to my stomach.
I got it there eventually and noticed the bread pads were worn out! Ha ha
ha ha ha….
Hi Chox, So did I after Marshall 804 informed of the the tricky and devious
retaining rings that buckle for fun. So a bit of ponderation, brews and a
cunning plan was hatched and this video shows you how I did it for you to
do it too!
Thanks and good luck. We have had several Triumph car’s in the family. A
new, pale blue 1300 in 1971, the front cracked off it according to family
history. I was only a nipper then. A maroon Dolomite 16TC I think it was?
in 1976. A green Dolomite (reg no WEK 516 S really mint it was) in 1984 and
we also had cream/white Dolomite in the 1990’s for a bit. Always liked
Triumph’s but preferred Jaguar’s & Land Rover’s.
Just wondering if all that spilt brake fluid is on your kitchen table !
Hi rooprat, Thanks for your comment. The idea works and saves a bundle of
cash on exchange or new caliper’s. No problems at all with the calipers
since they were done.
well how much did you pay for that disco? i could have offered you a trusty
transit!
Nice idea
Narthen young man, Thanks for your comment! I hope it all goes as easy for
you as it did for me. Good luck and let me know how you get on please.
Regards, DZ.
brillant video you have saved me loads of money i am in the middle of it
now got the kit to refubish both front calipers and have prepared my
pistons ready to go into the freezer. next will be to remove both front
calipers clean and throw them into the oven at 60 degrees jobs a gud un.
will comment later on completed job Thanks again for people like you who
take time to do these videos for others
Great no nonsense video. Will tackle the calipers on my Triumph now.
Forget these Land Rovers! Purchase a Jag!
A bit too much!
first time I seen that done it looks quite straight foreward I thaught it
was much harder to do.
