It comes down to cost and how long you realistically think you will own the car. They will more than likely say you need discs.
Pads are not expensive and are very easy to replace. A local garage would be your best bet if you can't do it yourself.

Personally, I would not let kwik fit anywhere near my cars braking system. I am sure they do have some good mechanics, but my experience is that they do the work as quick as they can, are generally quite careless and love to use a blowtorch as often as they can. They always find something else they want to charge you for. I would use them for tyres, but that's it. Previously..

I wouldn't trust Kwik Fit with my last discarded bogey, yet alone my Range Rover.

If it's peace of mind about your brakes that you want, find a good, respected and trusted specialist who knows about Range Rovers. Si. <This is my name.

Avoid like the plague for me Smile

If you cant do brake and pads then a local indy is good for such things as the cost is negligible compared to an inflated price by KF... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

A clue to parts pricing here...

If there is enough interest in a deal package I can set one up, just done one for the D3 forum which is selling very well.

Have a look here.... http://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/brake-par...3-11-c.asp


won't be this cheap for the FF but may be worth looking into? Paul Redding
