Ferrodo discs & pads, retaining pins & clips, genuine LR caliper seals & pistons, new bleed nipples and flexi-pipes.

£46 the lot fer both sides of me Deepender.

Bling is expensive, decent parts needn't be.
 
Ere redrange!

send us yer owl discs ! there looks like they got more miles left than yer noo blingy ones;)

there not blingy, there slotted and drilled for improved hard braking! and the old ones are buggered mate but not bad for 12 year old i spose!
and they made of steel not owls!!

hmmm... is that a wheel spacer thingymabob?!

-Wills :)

yes! 30mm extra all round (werent bloody cheap!) and with the Konis its excellent to drive but i keep thinking polybush as well!!

Some one had heart murmour over the £60 for pads but as it goes rather well and handles rather well i wanted it to stop rather well too, the whole package. and there 80% less dust too!
EBC green stuff! the mintex ones i wanted are made to order and take 8 weeks!!!
god know how much they would have been!!

My driller mate uses EBC on his defender which pulls his rig.He dont hang about and the lot almost weighs 6 ton so they cant be bad!
 
Thats well cheep, but i got Lockheed replacements, call me a rich stupid idiot, but, a brand (i think) is a less of a risk at the end of the day, i wouldn't feel safe with a non brand after market Chinese make of brake, or is it just me that thinks that?

They could be fine, so don't get me wrong, but i woudnt like to find out that there not at 100 MPH on a motorway in an emergency get my drift?

Couldn't agree more. Always buy british if possible. After all british engineering tolerences are the best in the world. You wouldn't get a british manufacturer building stuff with badly fitting parts or leaking fluids from every oriface. :p :p

Or importing cheap chinese parts and putting them in boxes labelled with their name and charging twice as much as every other fooker for the same parts. :eek:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Aye, I've just bought a full set of AP Lockheed disks and pads for front and rear of me RRC, and a full set of OEM Timken hub bearings, seals, gaskets etc etc for less than 200 nicker. Was going to spend this weekend fitting them as me Doris is working this weekend, but it's gonna hoon it down. Bugger, looks like another weekend in the pub then...

Put a fooking gazeebo over the the corner yer working on. Yer lazy fooker :p
 
Hi Red Range the brake discs look good and the calipers, take no notice of the p#@s takes :D I have them too but also with a new type they have developed for the police due to the hard wearing they are subjected to together with the dust free ability, so they don't mess up your alloys :) Even better I work with a colleage who gets them for me for free due to family connections :D They are one of the best brake pads on the market.
