Defender with discovery front axle - are the brake components the same?

kato Disco said:

Hi all,
I have a 1991 defender 200 tdi that needs new discs and callipers. I noticed that the axle number on the front is 77L0####A, which appears to be off a 1995 Discovery. Are the discs and callipers the same for the defender and disco?
Many thanks in advance.

There are 2 sizes of calipers( plus vented )
Have you any photos of the caliper you have ?
Yes you can use defender calipers

I would also advocate for rebuilding your existing caliper with new seals and stainless pistons rather than just replacing. As otherwise you will be in the same position again in a few years time.

No there are 2 types of calieprs…
1 has small pads,same front & back on disco
1 has large pads,same as later disco & 110 fronts.

Don’t worry though both types use the same fixings on the axles

Phil question.
Cos I know you have mix n matched alot

So are the 110 fronts bigger than the 90 fronts (1996 90) and they would fit?
Bigger discs or just bigger caliper?

Thanks for the comment. I considered that but I would need to get the existing ones bead blasted or something as they are in a right state. New ones only cost about £59 each so I thought I would save some time and effort. Hopefully they don’t come in a blue box tho.

110 bigger callipers,think 4 pot not 2 pot.
Yep all disks are standard size for all LR products
All fittings are in the same place
Mine is disco axles tubes running the 110 ends
