    Brakepad sensors

    Well today the Rangy went in for her 40k service but she went in on a flat bed. The reason is on the weekend I noticed a not so nice noise from the front left wheel, the culprit is the outter front left pad is worn down to a finger nail thickness and the inner pad is about 2 mm.
    Upon phoning LR their reasoning for the failure of the brake pad sensor is it is only attached to one pad, I took a photo clearly showing the 2mm pad connected to the sensor lead he said he couldn't give an answer on what is the minimum before the light/warning is sounded.
    This will give them something to stew over while it is being serviced and a couple of minor warranty issues are rectified.
    So as usual don't rely on gadgetry, mark one eyebal best there is.

    If you have the light on, you also need to replace the sensor.
    Purchased my gear from Jag & rover spares in BNE - sorry can't help with a reseller local to you.

    Just rang an independent garage in sydney who wanted $175 for just pads in parts and $66 for the front sensor in parts without labour. Time to get the hands dirty i think. Who supplied the set (is this front and rear) to you from Perth?

    I Paid 130 for pads and 110 ea for rotors on the front, the sensor was still ok but 66 is about as cheap as I've heard...

    *Edit* "got" quoted $38.50 for the sensor and $75 for the pads albeit aftermarket pads. Will have a crack at it this weekend.

    Edited due to advertising rules. Won't happen again.
