Know the part
Understanding Brake Calipers
Brake calipers hold the pads and use hydraulic pistons to clamp them against the disc. Land Rovers use sliding calipers on many models and multi-piston fixed calipers on some higher-performance versions. On many newer models, the rear calipers also carry the electric parking brake motor.
Calipers are often replaced because a piston or slider has seized. Dust, mud and water crossings work their way past the rubber seals, which makes caliper care important on vehicles that are used off-road.

Questions
Common Questions About Land Rover brake calipers
Why does my Land Rover caliper keep sticking?
Corroded slider pins, torn dust boots and old brake fluid are the usual causes. Mud and water from off-road use speed this up. Cleaning and greasing the sliders at each pad change, and changing the brake fluid on schedule, reduce the risk.
Should I rebuild or replace a seized caliper?
If the piston bore is pitted or the caliper is badly corroded, replace it. A rebuild with new seals can work on a caliper that is still in good condition, but most owners prefer a replacement or exchange unit for reliability.
Do calipers need to be replaced in pairs?
It is not always required, but replacing both on the same axle keeps braking balanced, especially if the other caliper is the same age and condition.
Can I fit a caliper without the parking brake motor?
On models with motorised rear calipers, the motor may be sold as part of the caliper or separately, depending on the part. Check what is included, and calibrate the parking brake with a diagnostic tool after fitting.
