Thread: Brake pads for a D1

Don't know about the Green Tuff ones but Ive tried just about everything which is commonly available and the Bendix are about the only ones I keep going back to.

Ferodo squeal really really bad as did a couple of other brands which I cant remember what they were but in between each set Ive gone back to Bendix each time.

It seems that every time I want new pads they don't have the Bendix in stock so I buy something else and then spend money again when I'm not happy.

I now have a complete set of spare Ferodo rubbish pads which will get me out of trouble if I need to order new pads in, but that wont be for a while yet.

Stops very well, firmer pedal due to higher line pressure, a bit more dust on the front wheels (I wash it off once a week).

my discs are about 2 years ol so should have plenty of life in them

What is the minimum size for the disc's/rotor's ? Have been looking into replacing all disc's and pad's again.

Minimum thickness of rotors is 12mm's, according to the LR Disco Workshop Manual.
Myself, I've always turned back to Bendix too, all the rest seem to squeel like a stuck pig, especially on cold moist mornings and slow decents, but I'm about to replace my rotors with a new set from DBA, not sure which pads to use yet with the new vented discs I'm getting.
