That orange disc situation has already happened to me more than once. Couldn't figure out what it was or why it happened, so I didn't care..... |

I NEVER profess to know everything about the Range Rover, I know some stuff but I am no mechanic.

Ref - VMPP The discs usually go orange because of water on cold exposed metal - doesn't happen in rain or whilst driving because discs are hot enough to evaporate water immediatley and/or will be removed once pads and discs have done full rotation when braking to stop.

I'd never pay over the odds for a dealer to do the work, much prefer sourcing parts myself and then getting an indie to fit. Discovery 4 HSE

MICK - Was that a Land Rover Dealership? I cannot believe there is that much difference between them. I paid £650 for new brakes all round on my old TD6 a couple of years ago which is why I guesstimated approx £800 for the Range Rovers with Brembos - And why I have since replaced my brakes myself |

I have had this or something simillar twice on the rear i had picked up a small stone both times and same wheel,being the rear drivers side also i have notice at low speed how many stones are trown up onto mt side tubes so i think this is how it may have happened !could it have been debris through front disc cooling scoops ?? |

Went for a quick spin this evening and floored it down a nice straight empty country lane then did a max power emergency stop using the foot pedal, hoping it might have helped but guessing it will be the same! Discovery 4 HSE

I had the groaning brake noise in hot weather all last summer and frustrated me to hell, I could not come to a smooth stop without the noise occuring. All my series Land Rovers have quieter brakes! The Defender's are whisper quiet too.

I am wondering if RRUK could update on how this was resolved in the end. I took my TDV8 down the autobahn last week and had a fast run. I had to break hard a few times from 120+ mph and the car started developping a noise and vibration from the front wheels when braking. It is not permanent and seems to be happening when the discs get warm. It is, needless to say, quite disconcerting. Any help before I pay for a new set of everything will be greatly appreciated!!! |

There are Piles of reasons that you can get a noise and vibration from the brakes.
