Epb is used for the hillstart assistant?They have gone epb as it takes up less space in the center console leaving more room for unnecessary gadgets and tech.

A friend of mine had a Citroen Picasso, it had an EPB which was good as his wife was a terrible driver. It was automatic, 5 seconds after coming to a halt the EPB would activate. Pressing the accelerator caused it to release. As with most vehicle electronics, it was fine while it was working until the day his missus stopped at traffic lights in the centre of town and the brake refused to release.Epb is used for the hillstart assistant?
So now you want 2 brake lines to be rusted out (dual circuit) and a total electronic failure?Perfectly possible since JLR brake lines rust out in as little a 5 years.
Well that's the worst caliper 'done'.
Piston pressed out most of the way, cleaned, greased, pressed back. Not sticking now.
It's a land rover caliper!! Original? Worth just putting a new piston and seals in and keeping the body?
I've seen worse. Mostly shiny and smooth with a few spots. Not sure if stubborn grime or rust starting, but pretty grim down the middleWhat did the piston actually look like?

Dual circuit the brakes may be but when all the fluid departs from the broken pipe, the result is no brakes. Ask me how I know.So now you want 2 brake lines to be rusted out (dual circuit) and a total electronic failure?
Come on Data. anybody reading this would thing Range rovers are unreliable
At the end of the day I guess its an owner maintenance issue if it ever got to that point.
New stuff is here and we cant stop it. There are 2 choices.
I remember in my previous life moving heavy wts up and down with a big 5ft crow bar brake handle, then it moved to the joystick.

Don't know about RR brakes but Powerhouse Automotive in chesterfield do top rate brake seal kits and pistons if needed for bikes. Used them for the Yamaha, the triumph and the Honda. Barely any extra cost over some eBay kits but streets ahead on quality.The other (rhs) piston wasn't sticking, but the lower side pin was stiff. Cleaned up and back together. Again, good till after MOT
Take doughnuts .Test drive done. Success! Now let's see what the MOT man says

The story is shocking, but i can't believe the MOT, which was current, was honest. Suspension doesn't just fail overnight or even in a year. Taped over dash lights won't help
Car driven by man who died in double-death crash was riddled with faults
Jordan Patalong, 22, died in the incident involving his Suburu Imprezat.co
Plenty of bent MOT's in the UK.The story is shocking, but i can't believe the MOT, which was current, was honest. Suspension doesn't just fail overnight or even in a year. Taped over dash lights won't help
Bet the garage that did the last MOT isn't investigatedPlenty of bent MOT's in the UK.
That looks like the road near me less potholesWent out and hunted down my first proper green lane. A very safe, non scratchy lane with a few large muddy puddles and a fairly damp/wet track. Good fun! The Mrs even enjoyed it!
