Defender (L663) brakes questions
Why do Land Rover brakes wear quickly?
Weight is the main reason. Discovery and Range Rover models are heavy, and towing, off-road driving, mountain passes and stop-start city traffic all add to the load. Engine braking in a lower gear on long descents takes strain off the brakes and helps the pads and discs last longer.
Should I replace brake pads and discs together?
Replace discs whenever they are below minimum thickness, badly scored or warped. Many workshops fit new discs with every second set of pads on heavy Land Rovers. Always replace pads and discs in axle pairs, both front or both rear, so the vehicle brakes evenly.
