Hi all
I'm in the middle of changing the front brake discs on my 02 TD4 Freelander 1. (Alright, actually my mechanic father-in-law is, and I'm trying not to hinder him too much.. )
1 of the guide pins had jammed in the caliper carrier/bracket, and broke off as we tried to get it out, so it looks like the best option is to replace the bracket.
The problem is I want to find a replacement before Friday so we can fit it in time for the MoT retest, and a lot of online shops don't do express delivery to the north Highlands. Fortunately there are a lot of old Drovers in various states of repair around here, so I'll try advertising locally for the part.
Which brings me to my question: Does anyone here know which Freelander versions will have the same caliper carrier as mine? Does it have to be another TD4 of a similar age, or did LR keep them the same across the years and across the range?
And while we're at it, can the left and right carriers (not the calipers, obviously) be swapped? They look identical to me, but I've seen some advertised as NS or OS.
Thanks.
