[Rovernet] REQUEST FOR ADVICE

[Dermot Harvey]

I have had problems with White Post also, and I don’t use them anymore. You don’t mention what White Post did to rebuild your caliper. I am assuming that the model of your Rover was a P6 (2000). Usually the hydraulic cylinder in the caliper leaks. If so, the cylinder has to be resleeved, preferably with stainless steel. You need a good machinist to do this.
I used to use a guy in Mass? for rebuilding, but I think he has retired.
Good Luck!

I subsequently had it removed, sent back to them, and had it reinstalled, they maintained it was tested, however, it continues to leak. At this juncture I am a loss of how to proceed. I can send it back to them, with little confidence that it will continue to operate. I can try and locate another shop… Any advice is much appreciated. The cost of both installations was considerable. I am at an age where do it yourself is no longer feasible, without proper tools and a workspace.
