Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 Base 7 Seat Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Mines is booked in for the 105k service next week.

Got home tonight and found the rear brake caliper smouldering away and really bad smell of burning, I painted the calipers a couple of years ago and the painted was literally bubbling on it with the heat so looks like a new caliper too! Sad 2016 RR Sport Autobiography

The caliper should be fine they can stand some very high temps, if its not seized up, you need to check your epb adjustment if thats out as this could be causing the shoes to rub then transfer all that heat to the caliper.

Flack,

I'm not sure what it'll be but Disco Mikey fitted new brake shoes, pads and reset EPB just a few weeks ago, thinking maybe the caliper is seized, will be hoping to get the wheel off tomorrow night weather dependant!

Removed caliper tonight, can't see anything obvious, wheel turned fine also. Pads look ok so thinking the caliper must be seizing adhocly!

Any views appreciated? Thumbs Up 2016 RR Sport Autobiography
