Ok, I've got my seals now but if anyone has any advice on replacing them?:confused2: ...anyone, anyone???

Hi all, I have a discovery 2.5 TDi ES '98 (Dec '97 to be exact) and my drivers side front caliper is leaking. Any idea where I can get the correct replacement seals and is it a straight forward job? I recently changed my drivers side rear caliper with no problems but I imagine this is a little...

It seems that the caliper which was brand new was just a bit stiff and a good drive was enough to cure the problem. The vehicle brakes brilliantly now! Thanks for the advice. ps So glad that the steering and/or suspension wasn't 'fooked'!:D

You're a genius Danny! Why didn't I think of that???:doh: In fact why use brakes at all? Maybe I should just cut out a hatch in the floor...Flintstone stylee!;)

No, I wouldn't dare split them as I've heard many horror stories about the dangers! But I will check it to see if it's actually operational. Btw, I used dot 4 brake fluid.

Was yours a brand new caliper? What was the easy fix?

I have a '98 Disco and recently replaced the rear drivers side caliper. I then bled each wheel in turn as the pedal felt quite spongey. Took it for a spin and the brakes are now working but the vehicle pulls violently to the left whenever I brake. Any ideas?
