Hi,

Are these the correct pads for the front of the SC which has Brembo callipers as they seem like a good price?

Pursuant to this linked thread where I picture a chewed front offside driveshaft hub nut http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic23241.html

I’m having the SC looked at by a non LR specialist mechanic friend at his nearby garage (he’s very competent and careful). This might result in me taking the car to the MD but will mean that if I do go, I’ll be directing them towards a specific issue, hence saving time.

I’m going to ask him to inspect the callipers, discs, pads and driveshaft/ hub nut to try and detect what the whirling noise is that comes on at speed and to ensure that there are no problems around these components. I suspect he might observe that the car would benefit from new front pads; hence I’m interested in these Brembo pads.

I presume there are no specialist requirements with a non LR specialist/ DIYer fitting brake pads to an SC?

Thanks

Fronts are easy. Rears need a bit more work due to the EPB. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

they don't list the SC as compatible on that page... You can paypal direct using - www.paypal.me/duckworthparts

i'd ask that chap above ^ for a price Ryan, then you'll know you'd be getting the genuine item that will fit...

Thanks Stan/ Dan,

just a pointer as well, i was talking to Craig and he recommends proper brembo pads rather than aftermarket jobbys..

All brakes on s/c and tdv8 easily serviced by anyone with some basic tools, i know i have done it have a look in the wiki, if you can take the wheel off you can change the pads. Its that simple.......

Bit more involved in the discs bit fronts are simple enough, rears bit trickier due to the epb but not really hard afaik. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks all/nmj.. I do quite fancy having a go at fitting new ones myself tbh.

@ Stan - Notwithstanding that these pads I've highlighted might not fit the SC, are they not actual Brembo as the advert specifically states "Part Manufacturer: Brembo"... is there something I'm missing from the aD?

Thanks

They are not right ones for front. Look more like rear pads. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Gone Discovery 3 HSE
Gone Mercedes CLK
Gone Range Rover 2.5 DSE

the reason i mentioned getting proper brembo's is cos a lot of sellers market their pads for brembo equipped FF's but are in fact delphis or ferados pads etc.....the ones in your ad seem to be genuine..

Yes but if the pic and schematic are anything to go by then they are not right. The brembo pads for the cars with brembo calipers are square with 2 holes at the top for the pins to go through.

These seem to be for a single pot caliper...... Unless the pics and diagram are wrong.

Brembo themselves make disks not pads... Pads are made by an outside company

As per the discussion i had with Stan ^... We have tried aftermarket 'non-genuine' pads in "Brembo" equipt FF's and every time they were rubbish!

thanks for clarifying that Craig..


can you recommend a 'make' for the pads.....

JLR ones Stan... I will not fit any others to either my customers or my own cars X2...

The thing is they are not made by JLR, they are merely manufactured by a 3rd party and branded as JLR, so who makes the JLR ones ?
