To change the front discs (solid, not vented) on a 300 Discovery is it
necessary to remove the brake lines and thus have to bleed, or can it
be done by moving the caliper aside with the lines in situ?

Hi Tim,
how's things?

Most people just move the caliper aside and tie it off with a piece of
wire so that it is out of the way, but supported by the wire and not
the brake lines.

Yup ... Obviously, be careful and don't let the brake lines take the
weight or develop too tight a kink ..
