When you say solid Discs do you mean plain vented one's not grooved/drilled or a actual solid disc? as I thought all Sports had vented discs, also the 4pot or 6pot Brembo calipers as different diam. discs.

Hi Col, sorry I’ll be more specific, I currently have standard vented 317mm discs so looking to upgrade to the slightly larger 337mm fitted to early V8’s so when I said solid I meant standard vented. Steve

I had Brembo discs and pads all round on the L320 and I thought they were fine. Some people say that Brembo discs and pads are rubbish, but not in my experience, they were more than suitable for my needs and provided good stopping power.

I’ve recently upgraded mine to V8, but on Steve’s (T &S Norman) recommendation for genuine LR discs n pads they’re fine for my driving and occasionally towing. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue. |

I recently replaced the front discs and pads on my TDV8. After a bit of research on here and the Disco forum I went for Britpart XS discs and TRW DTEC pads (low dust). I fitted them just before a recent 2400 mile trip to Spain, which included towing a trailer on the return leg. I've been really impressed so far with the performance of this combo and it's very noticeable how much cleaner the wheels are with the low dust pads. The red backing on the pads with nice new non rusty discs looks the mutts too!

I'd love to go for those DTEC pads, Kev. Do you have a part number please? When I was on the TRW site the other day, I could only find DTEC pads that were compatible with the TRW calipers and not the Brembo calipers. I assume you have the 6 pot Brembos on your TDV8? Kev

Got it GDB1743DTE. But I think it's a different size to my L405 Brembos Kev
