Wondered if its worth fitting upgraded discs to the FFRR or should I stick to original pattern? Anyone got any advice?

My 05 4.4 will be needing new front discs shortly.

Cheers

Just looking myself at replacing my rears, after a bit of looking found Pagid to be a good option and currently 30% off at Euro Car Parts with the code 'pagid30'

Gents don't bother. I found a place on eBay that sells Mintex SETS of pads, discs and sensor cables for front or rear cheaper than Ecp with discount can manage by a good margin
Seller adventure_4x4 I think it is, about £70 per set so not to be sneezed at and unless your towing all the time or racing your ff there shouldn't be a red for drilled or grooved ones.

Drilled are bad anyway as they eventually crack up from the drill points due to the manufacturing process  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I've got them and wouldn't get them again. I got them for the anti corrosive coating. That has worked and been great. Under medium-heavy breaking they are quite noisy due to the slots. Sounds like a fluttering/abs feeling. They work very well but it's your choice. They do look good though. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

If something can't be fixed with a hammer....... You have yourself an electrical fault!

Far from cheap rubbish but tried genuine fiat ones and aftermarket and its a well known fault. As they still it causes fractures that can't be seen without a microscope and as time goes in and if heavy heat is applied then they get worse... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
