I was told at 45000 that the rear pads were 90% worn, when I replaced them mself this weekend they had 3 to4 mm left and the new ones are only about 10 mm thick so in fact they had 33% left.

Brake pads should be changed when they have less than 2-3 mm material (less than 1/8 inch).

Similar to my expereince, all discs and pads changed at 45k service, was told they had 'some' meat left at that point but they would not make to 60k service. Not my call, the fleet folks said it was OK to change. I commented to dealer that I thought 45k was somewhat low but was told 45k was the best they had seen.

This is the first time I have had to have pads replaced on a car, I usually keep a car for 60 to 70 thousand miles, or 3 years, whicheve rcomes first, got 49000 on this one now and its 27 months old soi was a bit surprised at the brake pad wear. |

I would contact LR customer services as this could be quite serious and when it comes to something like steering you can't be too careful

I've emailed the general manager at T&C with my complaint and am waiting a response from him. I'll update here if and when I get a reply.

Took technician on test drive yesterday. After 10 minutes no noise. I asked him to put car on full lock and it made hissing noise from pump area which he acknowledged and said he would investigate.

putting my steering into full lock does produce a slight hissing sound, maybe not to the same degree as what you have witnessed, but every power assisted steering car i have driven has done the same
