Hi all and Merry Christmas,

My N/S/R caliper has been sticking for some time now I have freed it off twice so my question is is it worth replacing the piston and seal kit or buy a new caliper like this https://britishparts.co.uk/products/134842-brake-caliper-SMC000210 just to save future hassle.
P.S while I am there for the price of them do I do both sides
Many thanks Kaz

Always change brake components in axle sets....

I'd just change the whole unit, saves time and hassle.

Ant, I decided to just replace the seals and piston instead very easy job only took 2hrs for both sides much easer than a 38 and only cost £50 for both sides,the bits are good quality and this is the place I used.http://brakeparts.co.uk/#!/shop/LANDROVER/RANGE ROVER/02-13/RANGE ROVER 3.0 TURBO DIESEL/Rear - Brake Calipers and Wheel cylinders
I hope this helps someone one day.
Happy new year.....
