Heard a strange noise coming from the rear wheels...

..and this is what was discovered when it went into the garage.



Seems that when the previous owner had the brakes done, the wrong pads were fitted at the back. As they weren't quite the right size, they ended up slipping and pressing against the disc carrier, over time grinding into it. The result is one very nice, very neat, groove the looks like it's been machined into the carrier in a workshop. Both rear discs were the same.

And here's the culprit...



Also had a knackered UJ replaced, which was causing some rather unpleasant vibration!

Range Rover Blues:
I'm havingf the same on Blue but not as bad, it's because the rusty scal on teh inside has been scrapped away so often the callipers are now too big.

Xtremeteam:
thats the correct pads for your vehicle but you will find even with new pads they will fall through through time due to the calipers wearing on the inner faces where the pads sit

stageonesimmo:
Beat me to it - I was just gonna say that....

You'll be one of the 'strange click when braking the first time after changing direction' gang then?..........

I know I am.  :wink:

narked:
Hrm, nice. So I'll be chucking otherwise decent pads away regularly then? Hardly any wear on the pads themselves.
