Your problem with rusty disks is also an issue for electric cars and PHEV’s that have regenerative braking systems, the discs rust because they don’t get the same use as normal braking systems and are often a MOT failure at 3 years old/ 1st MOT. It is indeed a crazy system but I think your encounter with LRCS is very common and partly as a result of LR having queues of people to buy their cars. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Brembo front discs are £106.99 each from Eurocarparts. Pads around £95 a set. So that`s less than £300 for the bits! Steve. |

I do about 3500-4,000km/year and have never had problems with the discs rusting on any of my cars, even on my L320 Sport. I don't bother drying my discs when the cars are washed either.

Genuine L/R Discs around £100.00 each retail inc. vat.

If I get surface rust on my discs (try leaving outside in Wales for 2 weeks and not have them rust), I go for a drive and brake until surface rust has gone and normal braking resumes.

Their is this stuff that is good for spraying on discs after you have washed your car to stop them rusting or you could do the same as me & after ive washed it I give it half hour then just reverse car off drive & drive back on with brake pedal applied slightly.

Andy, I have bought some of that anti rust stuff but have not used it on Sport as it seems a bit late. However I will try it on the Jag as its away to sleep for the winter under its cozy cover & CTEK charger on.

I have a Porsche 996 Carrera 4S that doesn't get much use and is stored over the winter. When I wash the car, I do the same as others on here and go for a short drive to dry off the discs.

Evo5man, Thanks for that, I shall try it as I do tend to be easy on the brakes trying to anticipate what's going to happen ahead

I went to see Disko-Mikey today (never knew he was in the same town as me) anyway he had a look at my discs, although there was some surface rust at the edges he said the discs were ok to be used until the pads needed replaced,( not any time soon) Good to get a proper assessment, not like the main dealer. He is someone you should use & I do not say this lightly.

Main dealers aren’t nicknamed stealers for nothing!
