i have an annoying brake grind noise when i come to the final seconds of a slow stop..its very not loud but because i know its there ,its bugging me..
googling suggests that its damp/rust on the discs and when braking the pads slip a little and cause the 'grind' ..i suspect that this is the cause as this noise disappears when the discs are hot ..the pads are about half worn btw,,

i have seen these 'green stuff' pads that claim to eliminate any kind of vibration and brake grind noise so has any one tried these and are they recommended.. ... - .- -.

Stan, check ya don't have non OE pads fitted pal... OE all the way with your Brembo's IMHO...

Sounds like your wallet need some lubrication

i'm pretty sure they should be OE pads as the range has always been serviced by a main dealer but unless i have a physical look i cant confirm that.. ... - .- -.

Have come across plenty of non gen pads doing this... Many with FMDSH

interesting that Craig

any opinions on the green stuff pads? [or red stuff ?] ... - .- -.

IMHO (I've only seen them used on Disco's) they are rubbish on such heavy cars...

Mine has OE pads from the dealer and does it a bit at times as well. Especially when I have been sitting in slow traffic for a bit. It's more like a squeak. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

OE for me every time..........

Just came back from lunch and sat in traffic for a while and it started again. Disappears as soon as you start driving "normally" and braking normally. It is only on the very slow braking where it makes the grinding like noise. Again all brake parts (discs, pads, calipers) are OEM. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

strangely today whilst taking the wife to hospital and back it didnt seem to make this noise , mind you its been dry and windy so did that dry out the brakes? ... - .- -.

well said .. i had the yellow ceramic one on my one,took them off after a week,,the squeaking done me head in...apparently these high performance pads are a waste of money on these vehicles,they are alright on your a.m.g merc , mtech bmw or on the porsche carrera's with the 4 pots or 8 pots caliper as they are speed machines, but on the 4x4 they don't have that desired effect.... plain r.r pads for me from now on...

I get a bit of squeaking in traffic now and then but I had hat put that down to the back pads and discs needing done as they're on there last legs.
Gonna go for Delphi pads.

@Steve, i've had a google and it seems these yellow,green and red pads are pants on heavy motors like 4x4's so its going to be a well known make i replace mine with but which 'well known' make is better..
as it happens the grind noise is no longer there , well at least on my last couple of journeys .. ... - .- -.
