Shortbread...they replaced my disks, it didn't work.

I spoke to the boss at my local Indy Land Rover specialist to gauge his opinion...if it was his car he would reject it.

He wouldn't modify my brake pads if I took the car to him in the future, because of liability issues.

nja, how old is your car and what is the mileage? Do you have Brembo's fitted?

Jim...it was 4 months old when it went in to get fixed, 6500 miles and yes, Brembo.

I don't understand why there is now a problem with the Brembo set up on the rear wheels now?

I ran my last L494 RRS Dynamic for 2.5 years covering 28,000. This had Brembo's fitted but I never had any problems with squeaking?

Something must have changed?

Rear? ....my problem is with the fronts.

Been advised by the service department tghey are fitting "modified brake pads" to cure the brake squeak. Probably same fix as others. Will see if it works when I get the car back. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Hi fkarim...in my case the modified pads didn't work either, i needed the modified-modified pads .....ie. a modified pad with bits cut off

I'm sure i'm just a one off

Well I had a quick chat with my friendly LR salesman who confirmed that LR have apparently issued a bulletin regarding this squealing brakes issue. Apparently the discs should be replaced.

I am taking this with a pinch of salt, at it is coming from the sales team so maybe BS.

Anyone else heard about this one?

Mine is in the dealer now.

OK so...since mine has been in before when they fitted the shaved pads, Land Rover have changed the composite of the brake pad but are still saying these need to be shaved.

Oh...you've got the modified-modified like me!

Yes shaved pads V2

If you search for 'RRS Brake Squeak 2' in youtube you'll hear mine pre botched pads...it's a characteristic of the car my


Link below:-

Mine went in for the day on Thursday, for the 3rd time since I picked the car up in June.

All was fine on the trip home, then the squeal came back on Friday morning. I immediately called the dealership who have now ordered the modified parts from Land Rover. They assure me that this will fix the problem once and for all.

I am starting to loose faith in Lamd Rover and the supplying dealership..........

Mine was also only on light braking at slow speeds. Fixed after "modified" pads. For now at least. Only picked up the car yesterday so not sure if the fix will last. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
