I'll pull the old one to bits and post some pics once I've got the new one on. Suspect the bore must be shot / heavy rust / pitting on the cylinder.
I'm pretty sure I cheaped out when I bought the rear calipers way back when I refurbished the axles. I know the fronts were brand new old stock LR items that I picked up at Peterbog, but suspect these were ebay specials... honestly can't remember now.
The replacement one isn't genuine, but a decent quality German replacement part.

Well, I looked back over my thread and the rear calipers were 'All Makes', so probably chinesium...
Scrub that... the right hand one is ****PART!!!! The All Makes one was the left hand.
Says it all.

Just imagine if that brake has been dragging for 8 years.... I do seem to recall the pads on this side always wearing more, should of paid more attention because I think I've changed them in a rush the last couple of times.

Probably a good call to be honest on replacing rears. I'll keep the genuine fronts, had no issues with the pistons on those.
The previous calipers that I had were genuine and tbh were very grotty, I did rebuild those once in their time with me, but they were pretty darned ugly. Because I was building up brand new axles to swap in with some very shiny diffs I wanted all new replacements and I got bnib front ones for very little money (like 50 quid each at the time including genuine pads).
