I just had the front discs and pads done because as well as a wobble on slowing they were also the cause of a bit of squeaking. The wobble has gone but the squeaking persists so I investigated and found the OSR caliper sticking slightly, warm after a long drive while the other is cold. So my question is has anyone had long lasting success by cleaning and lubing or should I just bite (expensive on a 5.0L S/C) the bullet? Geoff

Just had my near side rear replaced and found Matlings offroad in doncaster to be the keenest price  2015 4.4 AB

My TD6 has the ATE callipers I had a sticky rear caliper so rebuilt them with new pistons and seals. Fixed it for a while buts it’s back. I’d just get a new caliper... more cash but should last a lot longer.

I tell you what dolph - Kildare to Doncaster is some trip - BTW thanks for the advice, more expensive maintenance Geoff

Fixed mine by ordering a new piston and seal kit from Brakeparts.co.uk and refurbished myself. 2004 TD6 - Gone

Hi Geoff , just a quick jaunt across the pond ( while we still can !!!) . I have been informed that the early calipers do fit and work no problem ( and they are cheap as chips) but i decided to stick with the 'correct ' part.

My OSR started intermittently seizing shortly after having the discs and pads replaced.

I ended up just replacing both the rears but it was expensive. It seems to be a bit hit and miss whether they can be reliably overhauled or not, and I didn't want to have to keep going back and forth to the garage. 2010 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

I’ve had this happen on the rear of both my l322’s & on both occasions I’ve removed the caliper pumped the piston to near fully out, gave it a dam good clean with brake cleaner, a little lube with engine oil pushed the piston back in and refitted. Worked both times for me , so maybe worth a go as costs nothing but a little of your time if your confident enough to try.

Yep just rang the Indie, just over 620 quid for the one side including new pads, I had the other done a while back. I think someone suggested getting them both done - should have listened  Geoff

I'd strongly suggest nobody uses engine oil to lubricate any brake pistons or seals as it is incompatible with brake fluid and is very likely to cause the piston seal to swell / distort significantly. The caliper may continue working for a while, but there's no telling whether it will end up leaking or jammed. Paul,
