Thread: Brake Rotor/Pad cost

$1600 was the quoted figure for all 4 rotors & pads on the freelander2 before it was sold so same price for the big monsters on a disco sounds ok

Pretty certain that the front "standard rotors" for a D3 (not cross drilled etc for high speeds "sports' work), are the same as early Holden Toranas and made in Australia and should be around <$100 each.
If the $1600 Quote included new rear handbrake shoes and all labour to R&R, that looks about right for a dealer.
35k's out of a complete set seems very low, but depends on how and where it is being driven. Might expect front pads by 35k, but not the full Monty.
Fronts usually wear first long before the rears need renewal.
Second quote seems like a good suggestion.

Yeah it seems pretty low, I might get a second opinion from Pedders or someone third party just to confirm i'm not getting taken for a ride.

Maybe I just have a heavy foot

Or have a look yourself,you can see the pads looking through the wheel,with a torch and maybe a small mirror depending on the type of wheels you have.

Hey Guys

Im trying to get new brake pads for my 2012 SDV6 HSE 3.0L. Im running bendix heavy duty on the rear and want to run the same on the front.

But I keep getting conflicting data on the pads.

I thought that the SDV6 and the TDV6 had different sized front brake discs and different pads.

Is this correct or not??

Cheers Ben

1st service about 23000 km - dealer calls - "your brakes are very worn they need replacing - 2mm left " me - really it hasn't done many k's - leave it I'll wait for the sensor to tell me they need changing

just pull them out and check them yourself mate easy as, I just did mine i used brimteck ceramic $230 for front and rear pads took about 30 min to do cars has 40,000 could have stretched it to 50,000 easy
