Yes they, prob a mil at a guess. Is this a problem / possible cause you think?

Do you mean give the discs a rub with the emery ? Is that to try and get rid of any residue, or do you mean to try and remove the lip? Cheers

It will remove the lip and clean the friction face. You can be more aggressive on the lip wth a file if you want. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

How big is the lip as it looks as though you may be there a while with emery cloth

There are companies that can reface your discs whilst they are still on the car. https://skimmydiscs.co.uk 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Time v money. It’s does not need to be like a new disc, removing slag is all that’s required as you the champher the new or old pad (slightly) on fitting. If you want a 100% shinny finish get new.

But why waste money on that when you could be up the fell with lavishing it on  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Next question refurb or replace?

For what the discs cost, replace everytime.

I only replaced mine though, as they were starting to warp, & I was getting vibration through the steering wheel when braking, now all I get is squealing!

With not using the FL2 for several weeks I was amazed yesterday to find the rear discs now looking very corroded. MOT is due in a few weeks and visually they look like a dogs dinner so ...............

Anyone recently obtained rear discs (Electronic Parking Brake type), from where and what cost and any part number please ?

Discs will look rusty even if just left overnight,take it for a run and then have a look at them, braking while reversing will accelerate the cleaning process.

i noticed today that the brakes only seem to start squealing after they have warmed up, when I was off to work this morning they weren't squealing until I had been driving for 5 minutes or so (same yesterday and Saturday), Any ideas if this gives any pointers ? thanks

My brakes squeal, but only at a certain speed with a certain amount of pressure on the pedal - when braking from 15mph to a stop. It doesn't do it for a couple of days after I've washed the car so I guess it's poor quality/cheap pads that were fitted by the previous owner, still plenty of life in them.

I have found these on Fleabay (from genuine LR dealer online shop) so into stock until I get around too it. Cheap enough to buy and hold at this price.

Just been browsing this topic. Can any one clarify, front pads anti squeel shims or not fitted. Mines not got them but brakes working fine. Interested on members comments. Cheers.

The brake pads on the FL2 do NOT have separate shims.
I've replaced all my brake pads and disks myself with OEM parts. The ones I took off were JLR originals.

Ive owned 3 FL2s and my brakes have never squealed even when really worn - so Im not sure what to say to the people, who are having such problem, that hasnt already been suggested. Jules
