Ditching Those Dodgy Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring RDA
> Let's face it, your Land Rover's brake rotors are up for a hard life. Constant friction and heat, especially if you're hauling trailers or hitting the dusty metal tracks, take their toll. If your rotors are warped or knackered, your braking goes right down the gurgler, and that's a safety issue, mate.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you hit the brakes
• Feeling a judder in the pedal
• Taking half a kilometer to stop
• Rotors look like they've been attacked with a grinder
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks to get the tick of approval.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors mean your Landy isn't stopping as it should, plain and simple. Swapping them out keeps you safe and stops other brake bits from getting damaged. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for sussing out exactly what you need for your Land Rover. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're sorted with the right bits and bobs. Safety first, eh?
• Brake Cleaner: Give those rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of all the carbon dust and grime. Keeps everything clean as a whistle.
• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A smear of this stuff on the caliper bolts will make life a lot easier next time you're in there. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
• Safety Glasses: Don't be a gumby, protect your eyes from flying dust and debris. Safety specs are a no-brainer.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your mitts clean and free from brake dust with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. No one likes dirty hands.
Fitment Notes
Double-check the new rotors are the right fit for your specific Land Rover model and year. Rotor sizes and thickness can vary depending on the trim level and braking system.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
