Description

Brake Pad Replacement: The CARFIX Guide — Featuring RDA
> Your brake pads are what stop your Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Discovery, especially when fully loaded. Because of the weight, they wear down over time, like a trusty pair of work boots. Keep an eye on them, because worn pads mean less stopping power. Time to get them sorted!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a pig when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Dashboard light glaring at you?
• Pads looking thinner than a cafe lunch?
• Feeling a judder through the pedal?
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered brake pads are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in NZ. Your Land Rover's pads need enough meat on them to pull you up safely. Make sure they meet the minimum thickness, or you'll be walking home.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, new brake pads, and potentially new rotors.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under your Land Rover supported *only* by a jack. Use proper stands, yeah? And chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast it off your rotors and calipers. Makes the job cleaner, and the brakes work better. Plus, a set of Nitrile Gloves will save your hands from looking like you've been wrestling a chimney sweep.
• Lube 'em Right: A smear of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts will make the job easier next time. Trust me, you'll thank yourself.
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should sort those brake pads pronto when they start complaining. Especially on a heavier motor like the Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Discovery. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn, eh!
Fitment Notes
Double-check you've got the right pads for your specific Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Discovery. They change over the years, so don't get caught out. Always do both sides at once for even braking.

🧰 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.
