I've just been and measured the banjo bolt end on a new hose I've got and it does protrude 10mm, so that's right.

Hi Kevin Many thanks for the quick reply and for taking the time to check your banjo bolt for me. I do have the 6 pot Brembo on the front. Like you I’m thinking this is a manufacturing fault, it certainly looks as though it’s not tapped out deep enough. I’ve contacted the seller (well known LR parts seller) but suspect I won’t hear back now until Monday 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE |

The TRW callipers come with a sort of aluminium plug in the banjo hole which can lead one to believe that it’s the wrong part - ask me how I know |

Now that I have stopped laughing....dennij, if you are in a tight corner and cannot wait to get the caliper exchanged, to get the car back on the road....one option is below

Interesting that you mention the aluminium cap, how did you manage to get it out? 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE |

I seem to recall that it was threaded and I wedged a screwdriver or similar in and got it out; I’m going out to the shed soon so I’ll see if I still have the little plug - I’ve probably kept it in the ‘just in case tin’. |
