 It is important that your vehicle have the ability to move, but even more important is your ability to stop. Your Land Rover brake calipers are a key component of your vehicle's braking system. Part of the commonly employed disc brake system, the Land Rover brake calipers are similar to small hydraulic clamps. You will find your Land Rover brake calipers fitted beneath the brake pads, which grip the brake rotor to bring your car to a stop. Land Rover brake calipers are U-shaped devices with a piston or pistons that are pushed inward when you step on the brake pedal.
 The Land Rover brake calipers hold the pads against the rotors, creating the necessary friction to stop the rotors from spinning, thereby stopping your car. The most common problem with the Land Rover brake caliper occurs when the high-pressure hydraulic brake fluid in your vehicle is not changed often enough. Moisture seeps into the fluid, which causes rusting inside your Land Rover brake calipers. This reduces the functionality of your Land Rover brake calipers, and in some cases can lead to a frozen condition in which the brake calipers will not move. It can be difficult to diagnose a problem with your Land Rover brake calipers, but in general if your vehicle is leaking brake fluid near the calipers or pulling to one side when you brake, the fault probably lies with your Land Rover brake calipers. Since your brakes are so important, it is critical that you replace your faulty Land Rover brake calipers right away.
