\"\"The Land Rover Discovery is a popular SUV and well known all terrain vehicle. While not everyone drives their Discovery too hard, you\u2019ll still inevitably need to repair or replace the brakes on your Land Rover. We are ready to help you diagnose brake problems and fix them.<\/span><\/p>\n

When should I replace the brakes on my Land Rover Discovery?<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are following the regular maintenance schedule, the answer will depend on the number of miles you drive. Honestly, for the sake of safety and convenience, we suggest replacing your brakes per the maintenance schedule simply to avoid making multiple trips and other mechanical problems bad brakes can introduce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a couple more mechanical signs your brakes need replacing in your Land Rover Discovery:<\/span><\/p>\n

Squealing Brakes<\/span><\/h4>\n

Thankfully brake manufacturers make brake replacements obvious. Your Land Rover Discovery will make a squealing nose when coming to a stop. The sound isn\u2019t brake dust or moisture – if it\u2019s consistent, you are likely hearing the sound of an intentionally installed metal pin making lots of annoying noise. This noise is a sign your brake pads are nearly worn through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stopping Issues<\/span><\/h4>\n

This gets more dangerous: if you are having a hard time stopping or hear grinding on a regular weather day, take this as a sign too you should get your Discovery to us at City State Automotive right away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I do anything to make my brake pad replacement less expensive or brake pads go further?<\/span><\/h4>\n

We have a couple of suggestions here: Adhere to the maintenance schedule to avoid having the brake pads wear enough to damage your rotors, which will add parts and labor costs expenses to your bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Slow down and don\u2019t brake as hard. As reliable as the maintenance schedule is designed to be, you\u2019ll get fewer miles if you need to stop hard too often.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best time saver will be to get the brakes changed during a routine inspection. While you won\u2019t quite use your brake pads up completely, you might be better served changing pads early instead of scrambling to get the work done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you repair the brakes on a Land Rover Discovery?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Aside from mechanical issues which could cause the brake to not pump or apply properly, a more traditional method in fixing brakes is to replace the pads. We will, however, take a look at the actual brake pad and braking system to ensure the problem is the brakes.<\/span><\/p>\n
