Defender 110 Brake Caliper Pair

Brake Caliper Pair for the Defender 110: a pair of calipers, new or remanufactured, with fresh seals and pistons.

Brakes on a heavy vehicle that tows and goes off road work harder than on a car of the same weight. Every kit states the disc sizes and the caliper fitment, because both changed during production and a brake kit that nearly fits is a wasted afternoon. The 110 is the working Defender: farms, estates, utilities and expeditions, usually loaded and usually towing.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 2 hours. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

OE Supplier is made by the firm that supplies the factory, in its own box rather than a dealer box. Same part, same line, typically 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than the dealer. Premium Aftermarket is a well regarded aftermarket maker that is not the original supplier. Generally good, and we say where the differences are.
