We use Delphi Discs and Pads in our own workshop, and never had any issues or complaints about them  Strathearn Engineering

Thanks Strathearn Eng. Had the Delphis fitted and they are fine, no different to the genuine LR ones. The garage I used only fits Delphi as they never have a problem with them. At half the price fitted of the genuine LR ones it was a no brainer in the end as I have already got Delphi discs and pads on my other car.

I need to buy front and rear pads for my 2010GS
I guess LR buy ready built hubs/brakes from Ford who in turn have them made at their sub supplier who buys pads from another manufacturer.
So official LR pads will include everyone's mark up%
There are many retail names on pads on that well known auction site
SO can anybody confirm who are the actual OEM makers / suppliers to LR?

I have a set of genuine ones that I need to fit, stamped on them is TRW

I paid £120 for Mintex rear discs and pads. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Thanks for the reply
Ive just ordered TRW pads (Lucas?) fronts GDB1683 and rears GDB1708 from misterauto.co.uk for £66 inc postage, keep fingers crossed.
If you go on their web site you can just put your registration reg in for easy searching.

Update
BEWARE DONT BUY FROM Mister-Auto.co.uk
I needed rear pads but ordered on paypal front and rear; I then get a confirmation that they cannot supply rears and are posting the fronts only and chargeing me postage!
I rang them and got a call centre in a far away country and a foreign speaker struggling with English.
THEY DONT HAVE A WAY TO CANCEL so i'm stuffed in getting parts which I really didnt need yet. I cannot find a way to stop the payment on Paypal either!
Update 2
Their web site still shows them as being on stock - I feel that they are lying

The last set of LR front pads I bought a few months ago were made in Russia !!!!!

It is an easy job to replace the pads yourself and will save you a lot of money.

I booked my car in today to a local indie for a service. I was talking brakes to the garage owner (LR dealer trained 20+ years experiance) and mentioned Mintex pads. He said they were not very good in his opinion. He said he would go for Pagit or TWR from his own experiance. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

As Mojo said, the LR Genuine ones are TRW with Galfer friction material. Therefore, if you have just bought TRW ones then they are not Genuine. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
