    Brake replacement at 62,000km

    I have been told by the JLR dealer in town that the front brakes were down to 2mm and the rear down to 3mm and that discs and pads have to replaced.
    Is it normal to have to replace discs as well as pads?

    62k sounds ok for pads.

    Are the disc down to minimum thickness? Are they heavily scored?

    Dealer prices to do pads and discs will be very high. Doing pads is relatively easy.

    I don't know about the Ewok but I've never had to do both at the same time on any of my cars. However, if I was replacing the discs, I'd probably do the pads.

    Brake replacement at 62,000km

    Not sure about the newer brakes, but on most of the vehicles I've owned, you usually get multiple pad changes before the disks need replacement, unless you're doing a lot of heavy braking (like not using engine braking down big hills whilst towing, etc.)
    The workshop manual should give measurements for wear that needs replacement

    I agree, You should get at least a couple of pad changes before the rotors need replacing unless the newer rotors are made of cheese or you have an odd driving style.

    Hmm,all late model LR's seem to wear pads and rotors out at low mileage,as many on here have found out.

    A friend of ours had her RRS done at the second service,that was 52K,rotors and pads.

    Mate of mine has just done his D4 at 40K,all rotors and pads.

    For some reason the JAP/Thailand vehicles seem to last a lot longer,where most European vehicles wear out similar to LR products.

    My D4 needs doing shortly,its done 67K

    Don't know to much about the Epoke

    Was that a decision by the stealer? If so, I'd be thinking "Hmmmmm".

    My Skoda dealer told me that I needed new pads/discs all round at 75k (car is 2 years old). Told him what I thought of that idea...

    Asked the local mechanic what he thought. He checked them and said: “Plenty of meat left of them”

    He also went on to say “It’s really common in new cars - we often see cars that need new pads and discs at the same time. I don’t know what materials the modern pads are made of but they do chew out discs. I am talking all kinds of makes - including Commodores”

    30,000km later the Skoda still has the same pads/discs.. Brake replacement at 62,000km

    The RRS was,but no the D4 wasn’t.
    The guy with the D4 checked them after his Indi told him they were shot,the outside pads are easy to see without removing a wheel.A week later the brake wear indicator came on.

    Funny thing is it’s his wife’s daily driver,he recons she drives like a granny.
    So I said to him maybe only while he is in the car,cos he used to also complain about heaps of brake dust on the wheels,fronts and rears.

    From my experience you can include American cars with the European ones. My various Jeeps had pads and rotors replaced at around the 40K mark.
