Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The RDA Way
> Brake pads? They're the bits that wear down as they squeeze against your brake rotors. For tough trucks like the Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover, hauling loads or hitting rough tracks, these pads get a real hammering. Keep an eye on 'em and swap 'em out to keep your stopping power top-notch.

Uh Oh... Signs You Need New Pads
• Brakes sound like a choir of squealing pigs, grinding metal, or chirping birds.
• Feels like you're waiting forever to stop, or the pedal's gone all soft on you.
• Steering wheel or pedal's doing the shimmy when you brake.
• Pads are looking a bit thin on the ground (less than 3mm).
• Dashboard's lit up like a Christmas tree with a brake warning.

WOF Worthy?
Nah mate, shagged brake pads are a WOF fail. Not enough pad left, or dodgy braking in general, and you're walking home.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A good challenge)
Time to Block Out: Give yourself a solid 1-2 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands (never skip these!), wheel wrench, G-clamp or that fancy piston tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner (essential!), wire brush, and maybe a brake bleeder kit if you're feeling fancy.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth more than saving a few minutes.
• Cleanliness is King: Brake dust's a bugger. Get yourself some Brake Cleaner spray to blast away the muck before you start pulling things apart. Keeps the workspace (and you) cleaner.
• Hand Protection: Those calipers can be grimy. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will save your skin from the worst of it.
• Grease is Your Friend: A smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future squeals. Get some decent stuff - it's worth it!

Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should jump on new brake pads the moment you see wear or your stopping power fades. Keep your Land Rover safe as houses. The RDA RDB2022 pads are a bloody good choice, built tough for the conditions these vehicles face. Come have a yarn with Bob @ CARFIX, and we'll sort you out with the right bits for your Land Rover.

Fitment Notes
These pads are made to fit various Land Rover Range Rover (2002-2013) and Land Rover Discovery (2004-2018) models. Double-check the part number against your vehicle's year, make, model, and trim to be sure, especially with the different engine options (like the TD, V6) and model years.

🧰 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: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
