Any decent motor factor can supply replacements. No need to by patronized by a LR dealer.
My local factor stocks Brembo replacements for the standard brakes as well as the Brembo large brakes. |

I think stop-start should only function in neutral or park, as with a manu ... |

I have to say that my L494 is a big disappointment after the L320 sport that I had for 9 years previously. I should have road tested it further, then I would never have bought it!
