The brakes aren't as good as my older 4.4 v8 on my mates 2010.

How do you get Land-Rover to admit that their cost cutting exercise is dangerous? With 3500kg on the back I'm sure I'm an accident waiting to happen. The first time my Wife drove the car and braked, she screamed in horror at the lack of retardation! |

Quite frankly if they have removed the very good brakes and just fitted OK brakes for the cars design, I think that's appauling. Were they just hoping people wouldn't notice and buy it for the new face before adding the mechanical upgrades?

We have TDV8 MY2010 and at 5k miles it had new discs and pads on the front due to warping?

Oh Dear!! Old girl back in today at 11,000 miles (having just returned from Spain) for another set of front discs. Warped (quite badly) making steering wheel very juddery (spelling) at anything over 50mph. All warranty Sir!! This is going to get expensive (for LR) over the next 3 years Currently running FFRR MY10 TDV8 3.6L and a Disco 3 XS Commercial (tank like but very effective as a Company van). Plus one mint condition Track Day Car in the form of an E36 M3 3.2L Evolution circa June 1996 with lots of go faster bits and only 52k miles on the clock! Oh, plus a few bits to make it slow down really quickly as well! Luvverly. |

Er....I assume TDV8 2010 is not the same as the V8? I have done 20,000 miles and still on original discs and pads - no issues, no warnings and it stops on a sixpence....better braking than my 2006 SC Land Rover Addict

The 2010 V8 SC has Brembos..........it's just the TDV8 that L-R thought they could get away with some half baked brakes on.........big mistake, that's why they're back on the 2011MY cars. 2016 RR SDV8 Vogue (Aintree Green)

Why are the 2010mdls brakes so bad ? My old td6 vogues brakes are really good. Changed discs this year for the first time at 36k miles,plus second set of pads ! |

DeltaC....The trailer in question is brand new, with new brakes properly set up. The RR has been like it from new and is just the same as the other 2010MY models I have tried. Compare it with a pre 2010MY TDV8 and you'd notice a massive difference. Other owners that have 2010 TDV8's and have had the earlier Brembo clad cars, that I have spoken to all report the same thing.

I assume you will no longer be towing the trailer with your Range Rover? Bear in mind that you've made these comments on a public Forum and Legal authorities use the www more and more in investigations... I know of at least one case where evidence from an enthusiasts forum was used in a conviction. In my humble opinion, just because something is "new", does not mean its properly functioning and set up. |
