needless to say I got my money back and put a set in myself!
Strangely just had the front caliper on mine similar. Only one bolt missing though. It was a while after brakes were done so maybe on torqued correctly. horrible noise and stopped the vehicle completely. The caliper rotated and jammed.
Hi There,
This is a little off topic, well its a lot actually, my wife has a Mini, same country of origin as the LR, anyway, went to buy a tranny filter yesterday, cost $260 plus, genuine, the guy behind the counter asked why I was buying a new one, I told him because I was doing an oil change, seemed like good practice, "nah mate, we just wash them and put them back" un-quote. the CVT transmission on the Mini is on its last legs this could go a long way to explaining why. A selling feature for the vehicle was that it had been regularly serviced.................and I'm supposed to feel more comfortable knowing that?
To be fair this was a private LR shop, not the dealer.Quote:

All fixed. Apologies accepted, etc.
it was just a general comment on those who don't take care with the work they do resulting in issues that get blamed on the brand.Quote:

Hey rb30gtr,
Being the world's worst ever Mod I've managed to edit your post without realising I did so. Apologies!
But the answer is yes, the broken piece was still in there.
Don't worry I've done it numerous times;)Quote:
