United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

Unusual to have to change calipers, were they goosed ? What was the cost of the parts ? Yes very colourful, will do mine when discs need doing. Thumbs Up

May just jack it up though than sitting it on rear bumper. Laughing FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

No, nothing wrong with them... lol

Just fancied putting the bigger discs on front and handbrake needed attention...

Wanted to do calipers in SVR Blue so bought new ones as better to paint, and then wouldn't be waiting as were ready to go straight on.

Think the whole thing cost me about £700-800 including paint... that's with handbrake being all rebuilt as well. New fitting kit and shoes...
