Were some early D4's fitted with alloy rear calipers or am I thinking of another vehicle?


Yes the early D4 have/had ali rear calipers and use different pads to the steel/iron ones.
 LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Unless they can't undo the caliper bolts without damaging the calipers I'd say they've been breathing too much brake dust.

Have a read of Bodsy's brake bible, it tells you all you need to know to replace the brakes front and rear.

I've never ever heard of brake calipers cracking when fitting new discs.


Anyone got a link to this please?
