Hi folks,

I had the Brake Disc Worn message today. I will open up the front right and the rear left wheel to see if its the sensor that needs fix but thinking while I'm there I should also change the discs and pads as they don't look the best.

Front Discs - Can anyone help me with the front disc and pads part numbers? I always do the discs and pads myself so confident with that. Any hints about the best way to wind the two caliper pistons in?

Rear Discs - Been reading about this and understand its slightly complicated due to electronic handbrake. Any hints and tips for this? If I am doing the pads its not a problem but the read discs look like they need replaced. Can anyone help me with the part numbers?

I cant find a decent electronic parts catalogue. Micocat seems to be down but you could be selecting any part as there is no way of entering the VIN and seeing the actual part. Anyone know what JLR use and whether we can have access to it or any decent EPC?

It is Front Left and Rear Right on my FFRR. Did they change it through the years?

If you want original equipment just ask Dan at Duckworths, giving him your VIN number (by PM!), or if less bothered Europarts and your Reg Number should bear fruit.

You can buy a cheap piston pusher kit from Halfords, or a fancy set on eBay. I made my own tool once with a large nut and bolt, some spacers and a 2p piece!

Can't help with the electronic handbrake, sorry. .

Cheers Joe.. thanks for the correction about the brake wear sensors.

Im thinking of getting the front coated discs and get genuine LR pads from Dan.

The rear ones I need some dos and donts as I dont have the IID Tool to reset the electronic parking brake. Dont want to mess things up. Current:

Not a prolific poster on here though when I bought my car (2010 5.0) it had just had rear discs fitted by the dealer I bought it from, or at least his local garage due to an MOT advisory.

I took it in to my local Independent for a check over when I got it home, and he told me that the parking brake was out of adjustment as the people who did the discs hadn't set it up properly as they wouldn't have had the correct tool, so yes, you apparently will need something like IID (my guy uses Autologic) to reset the handbrake.

I suppose that logically you could do most of the work yourself and then just get it set up afterwards, though I've never looked at the system so not 100% sure. Dave

Hope this helps... Sorry I couldn't work out how to include the pictures from the .pdf file

When I replaced the rear discs on my SC last year, I simply parked on level ground, gear selector in 'N', handbrake off and wheel chocks in-place.

No problems whatsoever. Very easy and incredibly quick.

Once you've the rear brake caliper off, removing the disc is a 60 second job and it's the same to fit the new one.

I have made a rather rash assumption that a 2010 model works the same way as a 2007, though. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

No special tools area required to replace the back discs.

There is an installation procedure which beds the pads to the disc though and an adjuster which just needs a screwdriver to flick round

The bedding in is a driving process where you hold on the EPB. It's detailed in RAVE.  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

cheers guys, I assume I am not changing the brake shoes should be ok.

Bellini, did you move the adjust at all? I am wondering whether the disc will come off without loosening the adjuster? Just want to make sure I don't end up messing the EPB Current:

As the park-brake was off anyway due to being released, the disc slid straight off without any problems.

I didn't adjust at all and my park-brake works exactly as it did before I changed the discs. Si. <This is my name.
