Discs and shoes all round (roundabout cost)

Anyone got any idea how much 4 new discs and pads all round would cost from a LR dealer or Indy dealer...

Back badly need doing
front ain't so bad but seeing as im getting the back done thought I'll give her a treat and get all 4 corners

Thx BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Hey Slaney, a man of your talents with all the mods you do etc would you consider doing the brakes yourself? I've never done brakes before so cant really comment on how easy it is but I'd like to have a go at mine when they need doing.

When I got my FL2 serviced at an indy last year we started chatting about brakes, the fella told me to stay away from Mintex (don't know why), he said he either fitted Padgit or TWR. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Did think about it Steve, but seeing as the wife now uses it as well I would feel much safer and at eases if I got someone to do it who can do them with their eyes shut Thumbs Up
Plus at them prices I couldn't refuse, he did say on the phone what they where but can't quite remember but padgit pads sounds familia BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

I might have to bump my wifes life insurance up and change her pads and discs on her car! Whistle

I fancy doing mine when the time comes, but ideally could do with someone showing me that knows what they are doing. Perhaps a Freel2 meet in a layby somewhere for a quick course on brake changing, imagine, 5 or 6 cars all jacked up with the wheels off!

I read somewhere that an experienced brake fitter can change a set of pads and a disc at around 15 minutes a corner, makes you wonder where some of these garages get their prices from? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Slaney, it's so easy to do yourself mate. Took me about 2 hours to do the lot. I very much doubt your shoes will need replacing.

Have a look at Mtec brakes like I used on the last car. £225 inc VAT and postage for all four discs and pads. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

France 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Narvik Black

Mav is right. An easy DIY prospect that will save you a load of money. I bought my discs and pads from Europarts. They are Pagid (who are OEM suppliers to some German car makers) and have been very impressed with the quality.
If you do it yourself and follow the manual you will see that it says you must replace the bolts that fix the calliper carrier to the hub. This doesn't happen in the main dealers. I asked for the bolts in the Parts Dept. and was told they don't keep them in stock and the workshop never ask for any. I spoke to a fitter who said they just use the old ones with some Loctite - so I now do the same. New pads usually come with new bolts to fit the calliper to the bracket. John
