Hi Jules. Yes i posted it on another thread i had added to, but decided to do my own thread which is this one, i will carry on later on the cleaning of the carriers, and refitting the pads and discs. Hopefully i will track down some rear back plates, i managed to buy some new front ones which i will swap out in the spring, even though the ones on seem ok but are now 10yrs old. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225822486003 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225941165622 Last edited by Arctic on 2nd Jan 2024 12:56 pm.

I don't think I'd have been replacing those discs and pads for many more miles.

Hi Bob. Yes i said that in the thread some would not be changing them, it's just me i like to start from scratch when i purchase a car, i then know i am starting from a clear page so to speak. I have just finished the rest of the photos while doing the job, i will post up the front discs and pads over the next day or so. |

I did a little pre prep on MY07 yesterday while the weather was dry, had to drill out a front disc grub screw, it was stuck fast discs last changed in 2017, so new discs and pads ordered for front and rear ready to change out again come spring. |

Didn’t you consider the 316mm front brake upgrade being as you were fitting new discs and pads? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

That's quite common, especially if you tow regularly as well the rears seem to take a punishment. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I also noticed that my FL2s wore the back pads/discs quicker than the fronts, I always put this down to the fact it had it was my first car to have the Stability Control features that use the rear brakes individually to keep me on track and upright.

I have noticed that the rear pads wear down quicker on the rear.

It has been nearly 12 months since i changed the rear discs and pads so by the end of the month hopefully weather permitting i can check and change pads if they need to be changed. |

FWIW my rear pads got changed at 38K miles (5 years old) largely because one pad had suddenly lost its pad material due to rust causing separation of the pad material from the metal backing plate . The disks were very rusting too but none of the pads had actually worn right down.
