There are two types of venting, drilled and/or slotted. AFAIK, they all should be slotted. |

Thanks, but “vented”, as in plain faced, but air gaps between the two solid faces.

Having just had the painful joy of finding the right parts for my brakes, I found a few videos online of people replacing their non-vented discs for vented ones and generally needed new callipers that could cope with the extra thickness of the discs.

I have the petrol engine instead of the fish & chip oil burner. Ventilated front 316mm & solid rear a bit smaller.

Interesting, thank you. The back end has developed some very odd, brake related, squeaking noises - so it’s in at my specialist today. Something to talk to them about 👍 |

I’ve only owned this example for 2 months, so this is a previous owner mod. I’ve owned three FL2’s before and I’ve never felt the need for a brake upgrade on one, so I’m happy to return it to standard 👍 |

The rears should be solid for your MY never seen vented ones on the rear. part no LR039935 2013 FL2 XS.

My SD4 (2014) has solid disks on the rear and vented ones on the front.

The i6 has larger vented rear discs (called rotors these days), all the other models had solid rear rotors. If someone has fitted the i6 brakes, then continue to use them, and just replace the parts like for like as they wear. Changing back will require the correct solid rotors, calipers, mounts and pads, so more costly than simply replacing parts like for like. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate.

You all say the i6 ones will fit - BUT - we're talking a Metropolis, 2014 car here - electronic handbrake - so those parts wouldn't fit even if you tried. |

The i6 was sold in the ROW right upto the discontinuation of the Freelander 2. It was only the UK where they stopped selling the i6, but even then it could ordered specially in some circumstances. I've seen a couple of late i6 models for sale recently, both UK vehicles as far as I could tell.
