Just paid about £85 for discs and pads from Paddocks. Not genuine parts but Mintex which I have always found to be good. I have got some handbrake shoes from eBay for £38....I don't think I need them but I didn't want to get the thing apart and find the old ones were knackered.

I had the rear discs/pads/hadbrake shoes replaced by a local LR dealer with the costs being met by the supplying dealer (but in the same group) - I asked for a copy of the invoice for my records and it showed a total cost of just under £350. 2010 HSE TD4 auto, Biscay Blue, Almond Leather, facelift front and rear, detachable towbar, front & rear mudflaps, bib spoilers, clear high level brake light, smooth rear wiper, colour coded door handles.

I am quite shocked by the high prices charged to get a relatively simple job done. I did this on my FL1 late last year.

Yes axle stands (Which are an absolute must) and a box of Jaffa cakes (Which are possibly more important) |

I haven't had a breakdown, but think the price for the handbrake shoes alone is over £100. Adjusters are something like £13 - £17 each from memory. Plus discs and pads. But, I'm still not sure how it got to be so much! Apparently, getting the discs off was difficult and he had to be careful not to "damage the back plates"? |
