All 4 wheels, no machining of disks though as it wasn't needed.

$615 for the front and $400 odd for the rears.

Is this right? For economy reasons I've nursed the D3 around town and although I've done more 4WDing than most D3's, I'm still surprised they need doing.

But a thousand bucks!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Are they having you on:confused: I got to 60k out of mine and decided to change them before the Cape York trip including the rear which did not really need doing. It takes about ten minutes per calliper. From memory the pads cost me $220 :)

ours went about 36 thou, was down to the sensors and yup price was about $1000 to do them and that did not include rotors.

Lease company paid for it all and I'm not paying any extra for it. All built into the monthly fee.

After the first pad change, (Around 30K:eek:) you SHOULD get to the next set of pads before the rotors need changing. Unless they are extremely grooved or uneven, machining them only shortens their life span.
The pad Sensors set off the warning lamp , but be VERY careful removing them from the old pads, as they sometimes disintegrate anyway! They are predominately plastic, and you know how plastic gets around HEAT:(
I just quote on fitting them anyway, that way if I do get them out with out damage etc, then the bill is less:D

you suggest that you can get 2 lots of pads per rotor change. i just had the 36k sevice done and they said needed new pads and rotors??? think they quoted $850 inc labour (Southern X LR Toowoomba).
thanks, troy

$850 for 4 sets of pads and rotors? Sounds cheap. But why would you need rotors after 36,000 Kms?

At this very moment, I'm getting all rotors and pads replaced (nearly 40k) for $1600, guys lubemobile are at my place. All parts OEM. I know it's a bit rich but time poor at the moment. I'm so trying hard to tell myself that it's ok so go easy on me...:-)
