Brake calipers?

pimpedrange said:

Hi guys quick question
My brakes all round the range rover p38 are sticking due to it being stood for months,
I'm on a tight budget with Xmas coming then holiday in new year, so here's my question
Do I
1,put new piston and seal kits in calipers which I been told is hard £40
2,get some 2nd hand calipers from £60
3,buy new at over £150
Also there is plenty of meat left on the discs but they are rusty could I perhaps clean these up with wire wool and brake cleaner or omething else save foring out over £100 for new discs?

Cheers guys
