Thread: MY10 Disco 4 SDV6 New Brake Rotors and Pads - any recommendations?

I also got a full set of Bosch euro pads which I probably won't open for a long time.

Rock Auto is definitely worth a look

Great, sounds good to me. I'll go ahead and order these. Cheers

So this is a new pad from Akebono that fits the 3.0L brakes? They previously didn’t have one that fit the 3L models

Yep, looks like it. I think they were released mid last year:
AKEBONO EXPANDS ITS PROACT, AKEBONO PERFORMANCE AND EURO DISC BRAKE PAD OFFERING, SEVEN PARTS ADD COVERAGE FOR ALMOST ONE MILLION VEHICLES | Akebono

The model for the D4 front pads is EUR1479 and includes wear sensors. They don't show up on the Australian Akebono web catalogue but they do on their US website catalogue. On the US site they say they are compatible with all 2010-2016 "LR4s" including all engine variants (although they only have petrol engines in the US). As suggested by josh.huber I ordered them from Rockauto in the US. About half the price of what Pedders charge for Akebono pads even after shipping.

Forgot to ask - do you have a 3.0L D4?

Yeah i have a 3.0l . I worked out it was the same as the 5.0l V8 petrol and used that to search Rock Auto and cross reference. One set came with sensors. Can't remember if it was front or rears.

Good to hear, should all work out fine then. Yeah I saw that they list these brake pads for all engine variants in the US - both the 5.0L V8 and the 3.0L V6 SC petrol engines. I ordered them yesterday - the front pads come with sensors. Surprised that they aren't listed on the Aussie Akebono web catalogue yet, guess we're a bit behind. Cheers

So the callipers are also the same between 5L V8 and 3L V6 Josh?
