Brakes!!!

Hi all,

Okay Japenses spec Discovery 2.5TDI XS export, 1996 on a British P reg.. I
seem to have a steady frip from the drivers side front brake hose, however,
never seen a setup like it, caliper is total enclosed as though it has like
a rubber seal round it. Anyway the brake fluid is leaking from the hose, nut
I don't think it is the hose. Any ideas, caliper does not look wet.

Andrew:

Do not disconnect the caliper into halves. You will be in a world of hurt.
Make sure the union to the caliper is tight. Otherwise, a new hose will have
to be fitted, although you may need a new copper washer.
