Driving home yesterday and heard a intermittent long squeal / squeak but it went as soon as i braked but occasionally come back. Once I arrived home I had a quick look around and noticed that the rear passenger alloy was warm along with the brake disk etc.

I was another who ended up replacing the calliper, although you could try removing the pads and working the piston in & out a few times to see if that will do anything.

Thanks for the info. I will get it booked in for the indy to have a look. It had new pads and disks about a year ago. Will have a scout around for a price on the caliper 2003 Range Rover HSE 3.0 TD6

It could be as simple as the ends of the pads rusted and jammed in the caliper, so they do not release. I am sure all shall be revealed when you get the wheel off and have a closer look. Previously..
