Well I have had the car over 2 years now and not a single squeak or squeal from brakes till recently, car goes in for servicing and I complained yet apparently the stock answer from JLR is ……….

I agree with JLR, the squealing is just tiny vibrations being amplified through the disc at an audible frequency. Assuming the pads are not worn.... it’s an unavoidable, cosmetic issue, not a fault by itself. As the discs/pads wear, it can come and go.

yeah, buuuuuut my last Merc ML350 didn't do it, the merc GLC 250 before that didn't do it, my 2010 vogue doesn't do it and none of the 20 leased cars have driven over the last 17 years have done it either.

I'd be tempted to tell them to bloomin fix it and maybe change to different brake pads

if you just got new pads/discs it could just be bedding in tho so is normal so long as it goes away soon FFRR

It shouldn't be 'normal' and let's be honest, it's totally unacceptable on a 100k car (actually it's unacceptable in any modern car, and pretty much none of them do it, exept LR's it would seem). My 12 year old BMW 320d worth about tuppence doesn't do it and never has.

JLR needs to get a real dose of realism, they even seem in denial about the quality issues and cr*p dealers they've got in China (really! You'd think they would have got that sorted wouldn't you? Then they could sort out their cr*p dealers in the UK). There are rumours of fields full of cars that can't be sold in China due to quality issues (according to Autocar), but apparently there's been a downturn in the Chinese market, which now sounds dangerously close to a euphamism. Drives:

Maybe its because they are 25% worn it means the old ones are now useless!!!! Its the all new 80/20 rule but in reverse!!

For your education!

It doesn’t stop it being annoying, I grant you that.

I would believe that with a Porker and high performance brakes, but having had the braking system completely fail at 1500 miles when it snowed I am less inclined to believe JLR, I have also just checked and new OEM pads are £200!! Which doesn't scream performance?

And to contradict my post, I remember in 2011 or 2012 I had my L320 discs and pads replaced under warranty because they were squealing... and I didn’t even complain about it, they just did of their own accord when it was in for a service. And they’ve never squealed since. Maybe proper Brembo 6 caliper brakes are more susceptible.

Land Rover & their brake suppliers spend a lot time & effort selecting pad materials that shouldn't make noises under the majority of typical driving. However their are big compromises between low / no noise & brake fade / performance.
Expensive, luxury cars would be almost unsellable in markets like Japan & China if they all made brake noise as Japanese cars are developed with no noise as an absolute necessity to meet customer demand - but they will compromise performance first. Paul,

The previous LR I owned was a RR Sport SVR that had squeaking brakes at low speeds at just under 1000 miles. It had Brembo brakes. The solution given to the Dealership, by LR Technical, after they had fitted a number of brake pads with no success was shaving an edge off another set of new pads and it never occurred again.

I had new pads fitted earlier this year which squeaked intermittently at low speeds. I asked my trusted dealer to look into it, but following Murphy’s Law, the car behaved whilst they had it. 2000 miles later the brakes don’t squeak, so I’m guessing its taking a bit off the pads that sorts it.

I don't do brake pads without also swapping rotors EVER. If you're just pad slapping and not replacing or turning the rotors they're worn in particular way the previous pads cut. You slap on new pads even if you can't see a discrepancy in the surface of the rotor it is there and may or may not yield some resonance depending on the condition. Reusing the old rotor may not always yield squeaking brakes but if you go with new pads/rotors (or have the rotors turned) you shouldn't have a problem.

The last time I had my rig in for service the estimated cost of the brake job up front was above $3000USD pads/rotors/labor. I always source my brakes from rock auto... blank rotors are essentially all the same, I get the version with the hat painted black as they look better and provide more corrosion resistance. I also grab the stoptec composite pads. Total is usually under $300 for the fronts which I carry out myself. I also replace all the hardware, pins/spring/etc and don't forget the grease. Everything fresh and seated proper it shouldn't make any noise. Paying a premium for the LR OEM replacements is insane.

There is a TSB for squealing brakes, involves filing off the upper edge of the brake pad
