If they are new bolts they will have a lock compound on the threads already.

I have always used genuine LR parts and there have never been new bolts in the package although the manual says "always fit new bolts". In practice, I have always used a threadlock like Loctite on the original bolts. Never had a problem on 2 Freelanders, 2 full sets of pads/discs. Loctite always worked on the aircraft I used to maintain......

Cheers will invest in some. The rear pads have bolts and the clips coming with them. Will have to wait and see if they actually do. Just let me know if any of your aircraft go down. |

Same here, over the years I have replaced lots of brakes on different makes of cars and unless new bolts are supplied I use the old ones with loctite. Did some Porsche brakes last weekend and they wanted £5 a bolt (!), just did old ones up to the required torque and loctited. Job done. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto 5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE |

Very helpful and informative. I was also impressed there was no swearing but to be fair it would have added to the drama!

UPDATE - Despite what it says on the Brembo parts catalogue the part numbers above ARE INCORRECT for 2013MY with EPB

The new discs are obviously the disc/drum type with manual handbrake. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Might be obvious to you but it's bloody annoying when a major supplier can't get their catalogue right!!

Must the replacement disc for the rear be identical to the OEM?

The one on the right looks like the one for handbrake shoes (I mentioned this in your other thread). However, the part number you gave earlier goes from 2006 - 2015. I think you may find that the new disc you have may for both versions - some manufacturers do this for economic reasons, but the OE one you have for EPB will not for on an earlier model. Only way to find out is to carefully have a trial fit. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Thanks Steve your explanation makes sense to me I can't imagine 2 x suppliers and two reputable manufacturers would be wrong on this one part - or is that a dangerous assumption/

From what I have found, most motor factors / suppliers quote the incorrect pads for the MY2013 and later with EPB. Seem to remember the MINTEX application I downloaded was incorrect as well. Eventually got my rear pads (PAGID) from Euro Carparts. Gone:

I agree - I am now confident (measured and re-measured) that I now have the correct PAGID pads (also from EuroParts) part no 101591268 list price £75.55 - I paid £24.93
