Can't see how a brake line would cause this and the callipers are prone to piston seizure. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Flexible brake lines can cause the same symptoms as a binding brake caliper if they develop a split or pinhole on the inside surface, it's more common than you'd think.

No worries! Don't forget to purge any air that might have entered the system, get someone to pump the brake pedal a few times and hold down, then crack off the bleed nipple 'a bit' whilst they keep pressure on the brake. |
