Thread: I need new brakes.

DBA or Delios rotors (slotted only NOT drilled)

I assume it's a 300tdi - if you're "going the whole hog", think about adding a OME vacuum pump and OME booster (to account for age related deterioration) .

Both readily available ( at least they are here in the east ).

Pat honestly i would reco your own calipers using genuine pistons and seals. Front kits incl pistons are STC1280 and rear STC1281. A very easy job and YOU get to control the quality of parts. There are so many crap caliper kits out there...
And yes to the booster too. Use a TRW branded one.

This Pat ^

and contrary to popular belief, you can get bridge/spacer O rings too.
Serg/Uninformed has gone the whole hog and done this.

I wouldn't go Green Stuff pads these days from what a DBA engineer told me quite a few years ago and more recently Slunnie.
Slunnie reckons they are crap these days, he's using Yellow Stuff in his D2 with slotted DBA rotors and 285/75 tyres and couldn't be happier.

I used TRW/Lucas pads in my old Deefer, fitted when I did the engine and t/case. (Ferodo were used prior to that)
They are a ceramic type compound and worked well, good pedal feel and with no squeal from the rear on dirt!

I think I'm ordering QFM pads for the Disco this week, I just want to talk to them first before deciding on which compound.
I keep going around in circles, Pagid, QFM, Akebono, TRW.....

I used a Bearmach vacuum pump when I replaced mine as at the time the OE Wabco were crap.

That was a few years ago now, Justin would have a far better idea on the current state of play.

TRW is the only way to go with the booster.

this may be of some help part regarding part#s
