Thanks Again Mate, will try my local Landy place tomorrow, if I can get a set of Pads with the springs and pins included cheap enough , will change whole lot.SWMBO's '97 D1 3dr "LA" chassis has br*tprat SFP500160G pads on the front:-

12 months and 8K miles later = no discernable wear.
My 97 5dr "LA" chassis has Mintex :-

Probably been on about 18 months - maybe 25% worn.....
Fitting kit springs ( which yours is in rather urgent need of) are:-

BUT - Both the above sets of pads came with new pins and springs![]()

So why didn’t u wait and ask ask your “local Landy place” for the correct pads? it’s now obvious that the LR part number is not going to be any use to you, therefore I for one could have got on with other things instead of replying to your post.
If I was aware of the outcome I won’t have a bothered, usually I can forecast the outcome so leave answering to others whom spend most of their time doing so.You were not forced to answer his posts........
Cheers

I am Very Grateful for the Help and Advice I get from here Mate, I am a complete Novice when it comes to mechanics but I am half way through a 110 rebuild with Loads of help from people that really don't mind giving it on here. Like neily says you were not forced to answer my posts, If you have other things to get on with then please get on with them instead of answering my posts.So why didn’t u wait and ask ask your “local Landy place” for the correct pads? it’s now obvious that the LR part number is not going to be any use to you, therefore I for one could have got on with other things instead of replying to your post.

Thanks Mate. The PO had done some serious off roading so will give them a good clean while I'm on.HTH - highly recommend the Br*tP@rt ones I linked to - think we paid £18 plus the Vodka & Tonicbedded in quickly and at least as good as the Mintex in our onion (opinion
).
Also Discool is right about one thing - clean your calipers- preferably with some sand/grit/abrasive travelling quite quickly
- but push your pistons all the way in first
Here's what SWMBO's look like after a bit of a clean:-View attachment 196971

I now once a year take the wheels off to touch up the stone chips on my discos callipers, I should have used stronger paint than Hammerite.
