When I was in the Main dealers yesterday they did a free condition report.
They do a % of wear on the pads and discs etc.

The front pads were 70% worn and they include a quote on the checklist.

Cost of pads £126.45, fitting time 1.1 hrs, fitted price £269.45 plus VAT brings it to £323.34 for a set of front pads

I am glad the discs were only 40% worn.

Out of interest a front parking sensor was £19.98 fitted.

the parking sensor fitted for that price is a bit of a bargain though

did mine 14 days ago

front discs & pads from eurocarparts £130 inc

then gordon lamb dealer to fit £130 inc

bish bash bosh done

Good Price! But the delivery to Germany is expensive, at ISLAND4x4 I have only 10 GBP FedEx for complete delivery, also when I have 500kg (last month 32 pair of discs!) in one order. Best rgs, Uli L405 SDV8 2017 + Lancia Flavia Coupe 1964 + RRS L494 3.0 SDV6 + C220CDI Convertible 2021

I did mine back in september ,front and rear discs and pads and both wear sensors for 125 quid delivered to my door,just a couple of hours to fit, simples.
got the parts from adventure 4x4 via ebay.

i found that when i fitted aftermarket front pads the graunched like anything
thought i had diff or wheel bearing problems
changed them for genuine land rover paid (a bit expensive i must say) and the graunching went away..
wouldnt fit aftermarket pads anymore

That should read "wouldn't fit cheap and nasty unbranded pads anymore".

There are "aftermarket pads" and then there's "aftermarket pads".

I had my RR in yesterday, and was asked if I wanted my front brakes done as they are 60% worn. I think your dealer is a bit pricey and trying to rip you off mine quoted £265.32 + VAT  56 TDV8 Vogue SE
9 Freelanders, 2x 2002 TD4ES, 2001 TD4, 2002 1.8GS, 2000 XEDI, 2x 2000 1.8ES, 2004 1.8 & 2000 1.8 GS (rolled)
91 Lotus Carlton (sold)
90 Lotus Elan (BRG)

Vogue SE TD6
Defender 90 2.4
Defender 110 TD5
Vogue 3.5 EFI

In Germany the official LR Dealer: Range Rover TDV8 front, 2 discs, 2 warn contacts, 2 pads-pairs, inkl. rental car for two hours and inkl. fixing = 650 Euro, you can calculate 0.84 today.... 545GBP, yeah!!! So, I take therefore 50% under LR and earn also enough... L405 SDV8 2017 + Lancia Flavia Coupe 1964 + RRS L494 3.0 SDV6 + C220CDI Convertible 2021

blooming heck. I can't believe the prices you guys have paid
when my car was in for its service the Indie phoned me saying my pads were worn and while he was doing the service did I want them replaced?
he charged me around £95 for the pads and the labour was included in the service.
total bill was £450

Can anyone advise how the Borg &Beck pads compare to Lockheed and Genuine LR?

I only ask as I have fitted Mintex to another L322 and whilst they performed perfectly, the sh!t they left stuck to the wheels was absolutely horrendous - almost like black tar & very difficult to clean off
