2005 LR3, 115K miles. Mostly NYC driving, so lots of salt exposure.
Hi All,
I have developed a slow leak from the rear brake line up above the differential. After inspecting the lines on a lift I see that of the lines that are exposed enough to see, there appears to be a fair amount of corrosion everywhere, and that I cannot actually see from where the leak is coming as the lines go in and out of visibility.
Some research showed that the Land Rover way of working on the brake lines is to lift the body, which is about a 10 hour job.
- Is this correct that this is the only way to replace the lines?
- Any suggestions on what to replace them with? Is there anything that is more corrosion resistant so I do not have to repeat this process or should I just use OEM lines?
- Is there anything else that I may want to also examine and possibly replace while the body is lifted?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Justin
