Brake pass and rotors should last 100000km or more. They are good quality TRW units. Got 120000km out of the TRW rotors on the D4

Mine have been vibrating when warm since 10,000 miles now at 29,000 worse. The response from JLR is below. I have only been driving land rovers for 40 years. Clearly I need lessons!
As discussed, I put a goodwill case down with JLR to replaced your disks and pads due to warping. Sadly I have just received there reply which is as follows: "We would not look to support this due to the fact this is not a deemed as a manufacturing defect. Brake discs warp when subjected to rapid cooling after harsh braking - this is due to driving style, not a fault with the discs. As confirmed by our technical team." |

I have a friend who’s first 110 had 3 sets of discs by 40k miles 3 years old, his new 110 managed to get to 8k miles before it needed new front discs …. JLR & Brembo are just mugging owners with a poor quality component.

Your friend should learn some mechanical sympathy. His driving style must be absolutely atrocious. I am sure he will say he drives normally, but maybe he does not realize how much and how hard he uses his brakes. 8000 miles on a set of pads and disks? I cruised a D2 up and down the M25 on daily commute and in winter I had corrosion issues on both rear discs. I brought it in the be checked and it was confirmed all was fine. "You you have to brake harder to keep them clean" was the diagnostic. Is called defensive driving. |

Please correct me if l am wrong but,
lf you use the "brake hold" when stationary then l am told this uses the brakes, not great if you just came down a long hill and get stopped in traffic. Maybe use the "handbrake" instead as this appears to work in a different way. |

I had the issue for a while and have just replaced the front discs a few days ago, which has cured it.
The fault started at under 10,000 miles. l didn't try to get them replaced under warranty, l bought a set of nearly new discs and pads for under £100 from someone on this forum who had upgraded their brakes. l finally got around to fitting them last weekend. It was only really noticeable when braking from speed. But the Defender is now nicer to drive, it's made quite a difference. |

Hello, I also have this problem with my 2020 P400. The car is now five years old, and the problem first appeared about a year ago at 45,000 kilometers. Unfortunately, the warranty has already expired—I'm living with it.

I have been told that the disks are not the quality that they used to be and they are not expected to last more than 30,0000 miles. I am on my second set on an April 2023 car!

There is a difference in the diameter of the brake discs depending on the engine. The P400 has larger brake discs.
With 56,000 kilometers on the clock, my P400 still has the original brake discs and pads... |

The discs l removed had done 24,000 miles and barely any visible wear. The brake pads look almost new after 24,000 miles.
Britpart front discs for my D250 are under £100 for a pair. lf the OE replacements l just fitted fail outside the warranty l will fit the Britpart ones. |
