I upgraded the brakes on my 2002 to the later 4 pot Brembo setup from a TDV8. I rebuilt the calipers with all new pistons, new Brembo pads/pins,appropriate new brake hoses and genuine new LR discs.
The car had a sticky caliper previously, but was silent and was otherwise fine. After fitting, I test drove and it was fine. After around 20 miles there was resonance when coming to a stop in the last 5mph, kinda like someone inducing a wine glass resonance and not a pad squeal. You can also feel it in the brake pedal.
I took the wheels off today and checked everything over, plus removed the pads again and applied a little copper grease to the sides of the pads where they slide in to the caliper.
It did the same thing where it was fine for a few miles, then the loud resonance returned. This now happens when either hot or cold.
Any ideas ? Thanks

The TDV8s have a metal weight on the top of the suspension mounting that I believe is supposed to act as a vibration damper.
I assume you don;t have this on your petrol v8.
I wonder if that could be key.
What have other people found who've done this brake conversion ? Paul,

Thanks . I was unaware of this damper weight. On the conversion details and report on another RR forum, it sin't mentioned. Sounds like it may be there for this very type of reason.
