    Brake Pads for my D4 - too many sizes fit?

    Hi,
    I need to replace front rotors and pads on my D4 to solve a runout problem, but checking online for the correct pads always presents multiple pads of different sizes and I don't know which to order. It seems my vehicle type had at least three brake systems fitted at factory: Brembo, Lucas-Girling and another. I have no idea which I have.

    This is despite the vehicle selection tools online being quite specific: LR, D4 (L319), 3.0 TD, 155kW, 05/10-12/18 (mine is 2014).

    For example, after selecting this vehicle above, TRW present this page with 3 different sized pads for the front: Catalogue

    And the same goes for other selection tools I've tried such as Bosch.

    My vehicle has the 'bigger' brakes that preclude wheels smaller than 18", so I'm fairly sure the front rotors are 360mm diameter. Repco are discounting the TRW rotors in that size (Part DF4792S) so I grabbed those and hence I want to stick with TRW brand for the new pads. But which one of the three shown to pick? Do I need to remove the current pads and measure them (I'd rather avoid that rework).

    Thanks for your guidance here.

    I thought the 2.7l was the 155kW version. If yours is a 3.0l, it would be a 180 or 188kW version. Then, if SD spec, you'd have the larger TRW calipers and 365mm rotors. Best to pop a wheel off and measure. TRW calipers are easily ID'd as they have "TRW" cast into the body.

    I know you want TRW, however you should consider Akebono from Rock Auto in the USA. Excellent stopping and longevity, and absolutely no dust. Many owners here are using them. P/n EUR1479 (front) and EUR1099B (rear) for yours. Around $120 depending on exchange rate.
    Before: Ser 2a LWB, Ser 3 S/W, 1979 RR 2 door, 1981 LR Stage 1 V8 (new), 1985 LR 110 V8 County (new), 2009 RRS TDV8
    Now: MY13 D4 TDV6. "E" rear diff. Cambo's magic Engine & Auto Tune.

    Just had Akebono pads fitted today to the front only (so far, as rears are still good for about 30K km and sitting on the shelf waiting for me) - transport is becoming a killer plus pads have increased - mine were $380 including transport without Dazza adding any overheads.

    Jeezes! Must admit its about 12 months since I bought mine. I'd heard and read on various sites that the freight component was rapidly increasing. Makes you wonder if it's still worthwhile going to the trouble to import privately. I always consider the potential hassle of a warranty claim (say, alternator) having to be made and whether it would be a smooth process. Have bought stuff from TR Spares Sydney and found them very good, so will stick with them I think.

    If you’re buying from OS then you need to accept the warranty of the component isn’t a factor as the cost to return it will outweigh the savings

    I had the TRW caliper and Akebono pads, running on the RDA black slotted rotors. Great combo, no dust and fantastic stopping power. Put a seal kit through the calipers and fitted new brake hoses and hard lines ascwell.
