Thread: L322 Brake service costs

Not too bad!!!

Modern discs are meant to wear, I get that but it seems the running costs of these vehicles just keep on getting higher.

Beutiful cars, no doubt but there must be aftermarket people doing discs and pads at much more competitive prices!

Hi Dawg - Thanks for bringing some joy to my morning

Haven't replaced the pads in mine, but I'll know what to expect when they tell me the pads are getting thin.....

My pleasure Boet, the only good news was the rubber boot on the key was U/S so they changed that under warranty....

KHOR in BNE did my rear brakes and machined the rotors for about $400.. Ive done about 15k since without so much as a squeek!

Front disks can be had new for about $50 each + postage from places like Britishparts. Rears are around $35 each + postage. Pads are $40 for the front and $35 for the rears. So for under $250 + delivery, these are one cheap machine to do the brakes on - cheaper than my old Commodore or my Daugthers 92 Pulsar! I wouldn't ever worry about machining or anything, when the pads are worn, replace the whole lot, and they are easy to fit. The whole front and rear suspension/brakes/etc are all very easy to work on for the average DIY'er with a basic tool kit.

This is one upside to owning a car like this - there are heaps of places selling aftermarket parts, and a lot of them are quite cheap when you think about the cars original value, and what the stealers are asking for parts...

I agree with you bacicat2000,
I replaced my rear rotors and pads for $250. Easy to replace yourself and have done about 20K's since with no troubles. Alot of people out there are quick to rip you off when you mention range rover.

Thanks a heap lads. I appreciate the heads up. Front brakes will prob need replacing shortly, so I will definitely have a go myself and invest the $$ into converting my tv to digital!!

cheers
