Discovery · L319 · 2009–2017
Brake parts sized for heavy Land Rover SUVs, from pads and discs to calipers and parking brake components.
Brake parts for the Discovery 4 (L319, 2009–2017) are matched to the derivative and model year rather than the model name alone. Local derivatives range from the 3.0 TDV6 HSE to the SDV6 Landmark.
Drivetrain: Permanent four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case (from 2014 some markets could have a single-speed unit instead), Terrain Response and all-round height-adjustable air suspension on most vehicles.
The cars.co.za Discovery 4 buyer's guide names air suspension and handbrake issues among the model's known problems. Air suspension warnings usually trace to compressors, valve blocks, air springs or height sensors.
Front lower arms, anti-roll bar bushes and electronic handbrake actuators follow.
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.
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.
For how these parts work and the signs of wear, read the Land Rover brakes guide.
