Both calipers replaced. Not a bad job, about 90mins both sides. Help from Mrs E bleeding the brakes..
I had to reuse the the bolts that hold the caliper to the hub as the new ones had not turned up. Posted 23rd April Sad

Not a bad job to replace them when they turn up.

Took the car for spin and the brakes feel OK and even braking. Before it felt like one side was quicker than the other.

Cheers to those who offered advice. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Typical the bolts turn up in the post the day after all is back together. Last night swapped out the bolts for new ones. Job done.
But I did notice some play in the front drive shaft flange members. Another job! 1999 Defender TD5 110

Well done that man and ain’t there always another job to do Laughing Rolling with laughter

I will not be doing my brakes this weekend because I am on the beaches surveying over the spring tide. At least the weather looks like it is going to behave this month 🤠
