I will check the disks as well. Interestingly no vibration or noise to speak of today after getting worse for the last two months.

It may well have been down to not removing the protective coating on the discs. See if the improvement continues. John

I wouldn't have thought not cleaning the discs would cause as much fuss!?

Webbie , do not put grease on the back of the pads . rubber sleeves on the caliper pistons do not like grease.

Check your rear discs and pads for excess heat after a run, (spit on the disc after a couple of mins) if it sizzles you have a finding calliper

Do same for front too. Thumbs Up There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Problem resolved:
Just to summarise fitted new front disks, pads, clips and pads about 5000 miles and three months ago. All genuine Land Rover parts. All fine to start with but after 3000 miles vibration and noise with gentle low speed breaking, getting worse as time with increasing mileage.
Stripped everything down again last weekend. Found break dust everywhere, especially between the back of the pad and the piston! All now thoroughly cleaned (again) everything seems to be fine and dandy and has been working without a problem all week. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Thank you everyone for your support and interest.
