Caliper Repair Kit for overhauling the front brake callipers. The kit contains stainless steel replacement pistons, the calliper seal repair kit and a grease sachet, and covers both callipers of the front axle as a complete set.

The pistons and their seals are the hydraulic actuating components inside each calliper, driving the pads against the disc. Stainless steel pistons resist the bore corrosion and pitting that lead to seal failure and sticking pistons.

Frequently asked questions

What is the DA1165 caliper repair kit?
The DA1165 caliper repair kit overhauls both front brake callipers on the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. It contains 8 stainless steel 41mm pistons, 2 calliper seal kits and a grease sachet, covering the full front axle as a complete set.
Which Land Rovers does the front caliper kit fit?
This front caliper kit fits the Land Rover Defender up to VIN HA701009, Discovery 1 (1989 to 1998) and Range Rover Classic. Defender fitment ends at VIN HA701009, so check your chassis number before ordering.
How many pistons are in the kit?
The kit contains 8 stainless steel 41mm pistons plus 2 seal kits, enough for both front callipers with 4 pistons each. It's a complete front axle set, so you overhaul both sides at once.
Why choose stainless steel pistons?
Stainless steel pistons resist the bore corrosion and pitting that make seals fail and pistons stick, which is the common failure on these front callipers. They typically last longer than the original plated pistons in wet, salted conditions.
Is fitting a specialist job?
Fitting is typically a job for someone competent with brakes. Overhauling the callipers means opening the hydraulic system, rebuilding the pistons and seals, then bleeding the brakes afterwards. Have the work checked if you're not confident.
