If they're brembos they do have a tendency to squeak, in my experience. Had 4 cars with brembos and all have done it. If the discs and pads are OK after being checked out, jetwash them and see if it goes away? Was standard procedure on my old Leon Cupra R. My (new to me) '59 RRS SC squeaks a lot as well. Garage said brakes are fine, maybe I'll look at LR non-squeak pads at some point.

Hi Tom
None brembo I'll give the jet wash idea a go, think it just a thing to go with range rovers I'm going to upgrade to a facelift model maybe abit newer may be a little better

My Brembos have always been silent in operation for over 5 years using LR branded pads and now Brembo branded pads.
A couple of things to try:

Get some heat into them with a series of hard stops from 50 mph

Check the discs for development of excessive lip on the unswept outer and inner edges. If big lip over 1 mm, have discs skimmed on car if can be done within wear limits or renew them.

If hard stops don't help and lip is not excessive then have a good independent strip and scrupulously clean the calipers and anti-squeal shims and reassemble using 'Cera Tec' disc brake lubricant. Don't let them use copper grease as that is now considered to be a cause of electrolytic corrosion. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
