FAQs
Are these pads suitable for heavy towing or extreme off-roading?
These pads are designed for OEM quality and typical driving conditions. For extreme use, consult with a brake specialist to determine if a heavy-duty pad is more appropriate for your specific needs.
What is the main advantage of low-metallic brake pads?
Low-metallic brake pads generally offer good performance across a wide temperature range and are known for their durability and consistent stopping power.
How do I know if these pads will fit my Land Rover Defender?
You must use the vehicle compatibility checker tool on our website, entering your specific Land Rover Defender's make, model, and year. Alternatively, compare the part number (0986494291) or the OEM replacement number (0986424286) with your vehicle's current parts.
Do these pads come with installation hardware?
Typically, brake pad sets may or may not include all necessary hardware. It is recommended to check the product description or contact customer support to confirm what is included with this specific set.
What does ECE-R90 certification mean?
ECE-R90 is a European standard that ensures replacement brake pads perform to the same level of safety and performance as original equipment (OE) parts.
Can I install these myself?
While some experienced DIYers can install brake pads, it is a critical safety component. We strongly recommend installation by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct fitment and function.
Troubleshooting
Brake noise (squealing or grinding)
Ensure pads were installed correctly with anti-squeal shims if provided. Check for debris in the braking system or warped rotors. Consult a mechanic if noise persists.
Brake pedal feels spongy
This may indicate air in the brake lines or a fluid leak. The brake fluid may need bleeding or the system should be inspected for leaks by a professional.
Vehicle pulls to one side when braking
Inspect brake pads and rotors on both sides for uneven wear or damage. Check for caliper issues or fluid leaks that might cause uneven pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is essential to use the vehicle's make and model tool to confirm that this brake pad set is compatible with your specific Land Rover Defender. Cross-reference the part number (0986494291) or the original equipment part number (0986424286) with your vehicle's specifications.
Installation: Brake pad replacement should be performed by a qualified mechanic. Proper installation involves ensuring the caliper slides freely, cleaning the mounting points, and applying appropriate lubricant to the correct areas. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's torque specifications for all fasteners.
Care: Regular inspection of brake pads for wear is recommended. Check for unusual noises, pulling to one side during braking, or a spongy brake pedal, which may indicate worn pads or other brake system issues. Keep brake components clean and free from excessive dirt or debris.
