Brake Disk and Pads question

When its time to replace disk and pads can anyone recommend just going with stock make or is it worth upgrading to an after market ones if so any recommendations?

Thanks in advance folks

FL2 has good brakes so just replace like for like. No need to mess about.

Keep an eye on flebay etc for any off loading of genuine LR parts by main dealers or go to the likes of Andrew Page for good Mintex pads etc.

I picked up some rear genuine discs 3 weeks ago at a stonking price from a main dealer off the net Or just ask Dan at Duckworths for a bit of a deal and see what he says. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Same as a manual. Laughing

Just go on Ebay for an indicative price.

Pads at Andrew page are circa £30 per axle last time I needed them and discs will be cheaper than dealers.

Or possibly but check compatibility:

Stay standard, last year I fitted grooved and drilled disks and the braking is good but feels horrible, almost like a grating sensation when you brake hard, cant wait until I wear them out and fit standard again

Aren't discs under warranty YorkieBob ? If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Replaced my front and rear discs and pads in the summer with Mintex from here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/quality.car.parts
Total cost was £144.40 [delivered].

Can't fault the company or the parts. Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Rolling with laughter That means no. My old man once had a young rich customer (his dad paid the bills) burn out a set in just a few thousand miles, car was just weeks old and he was quiet upset to get a well deserved bill for being a prat. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Never, my dad had a rich young customer who blew a set of pads and discs in next to no miles in a sports car so was told to get his money out. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Apologies for double upside picture.



Not the Landrover approved warranty.............the Landrover MOT warranty , I seem to think it covers the brake discs.
