How to change front brake pads on a 97 landrover discovery

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Can you clarify if it's a 300-TDI or a TD5, as IIRC the TD5's didn't start till the end of the 98 model year.

Remove the road wheels, clean the exterior of the calipers. Remove the split pin from the retaining pins on either side and then remove the pad retaining pins and anti rattle springs. Remove the brake pads and clean exposed parts of pistons using new brake fluid. Wipe away excess with a lint free cloth. Using a piston clamp, press each piston back into its bore ensuring that the displaced brake fluid does not overflow from reservoir.
Refit the new brake pads, retaining pins and anti-rattle springs, using new split pins to secure them. Apply the service brake pedal several time to locate pads. Check fluid reservoir and top up if necessary using correct grade of fluid.

How to fit front brake pads on a landrover discovery

Guys with questions on brakes scare me. They are the single most important system on any car. On the discovery the caliper must be removed by removing a brake pipe and therefore openeing the hydraulics, If the system is not bled properly, the brakes will be compromised.

Just had this same issue with my 57 plate Discovery SE - great guy from the AA took the small plate off that sits immediately to the rear of the hanbrake button in the central console - he then hooked a wire around the cable you see in there and gave it a mighty tug. The result is that my brake is now disengaged (rather than stuck-on as before) and LR will need to cure the source of the problem under warranty. Car is automatic so can use "park" until full repair.

Radio code

I had a new cd player fitted to my 97 discovery and that did. Raido codes are free, providing you can prove ownership. Just visit a main landrover dealer, they got mine in about 10 minites.
