Bearmach went out of business a loooong time ago...

^^ like late last year.

Really, is there much difference in performance between brands? Ron B. VK2OTC

Thanks. I knew they had gone out of business, I guess these are left over stock at a small French indy garage. I dont think they get through stock too fast!

I've used Bearmach stuff before, never had any probloems with the quality Dec 2021- 2010 Facelift TDV8 4.4 AB in Stornoway Grey.

Couldn’t agree with you more DrRob. I always used to use AF. Problem now is it turns out expensive when I get them shipped to France, plus the French charge me duty and a fee on top.

Just to throw a spanner in the works, I have been offered some Ferodo discs at 82 euro for the pair.

Are ferodo OK?

I use Borg & Beck because my local indie uses and sells them. Ron B. VK2OTC

just put Brembo UV Coated on my front axle

excellent price and great quality

Technically all disks should be the same as they are all grey cast iron. I bought genuine disks which turned out to be Brembo and noticed they had material machined from them on the edges to dynamically balance them but not sure if all manufacturers do this and what effect an unbalanced disk has. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I’ve got Ferodo pads and they work fine, but they chuck out some dust - I’m going Brembo or B&B next time.

Just to second this. I by pure chance checked in on AutoDoc the other day looking around for front discs on the 4.4TDV8 and managed to get these Brembo’s for £47 each!! Snapped them up  Cheers, Steven.

Are all Autodoc products sourced from genuine suppliers as there have been plenty of reports over the years of fake parts making there way onto the marketplace. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
