im goin to replace both rear calipers on my rangie,its a L reg 93,what years of other landrovers will have the same units,i know discoverys have the same,but what years,because lookin at new ones,there is a difference in up to 93,and 94 onwards to the last classics,will both units fit?

I'm not aware there were any differences at all, AFAIK the same pads fit and the bolts ae the same, so unless the pistons are different I don't know.
Watching with interest now :-k

well,first of all,thanks for replying,when i went to order off paddocks,there was a choice of calipers,it was 86 to 93,and t5hen 93 on wards,but mine is a 93,so pretty obvious,but just slightly worried that i would send for these,and they come wrong,but like you said,the bolts and pads are the same,so in theory,if i get a pair,i should be ok,cheers jim :D

Late rangie axles have different caliper bolt hole sizes to Defender/90/110 axles, so you can't actually swap the calipers across to an older axle, or the other way without reaming the mounting holes slightly -I think this is the only difference mind you.

i think you're mate,because my mate eugen had the same problem with his disco,with the front original calipers,when he fitted a later axle,just reemed them out slighly.

as far as i am concerned any modification to ANY brake components from the manufactured standard should not be done.
even if it is 'just' reaming out the holes.
