Uprated brakes?

Eeyore:
Henry Webster had solid disks on the Muddymoo - but he always said he didn't use the brakes anyway!  :lol:  :lol:

3.5 or 3,9?  Vented disks were introduced on the 3.9 RRC

Its the 3.9, but as long as the calipers move freely it stops quite well.
Problem is, the rear calipers tend to seize a tad if you're not carrying load.

Landynuts:
My 1999 3.9 has solid disks and does not have wear indicator wiring, which has never made sense to me.

Range Rover Blues:
Probably a cost saving thing then, all 3.9 RRC got vented disks, but then they have dual circuit callipers too.

Each to their own I suppose, I've fitted the EBC pads and disks to mine and I think it stops better, maybe that's just me.  It's not a matter of how many horses you've got as how invisible your car is to other road users :roll:

No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition :lol:

...or maybe no one expects brakes to improve with new pads and discs  :wink:
