| Upgrading my 2007 D3 brakes |
|
Hello everyone
I'm new to the Discovery world so I need top tap into the wealth of knowledge from the experienced brains here.
I want to upgrade the brakes on my 2007 4.4 D3 to Bremen. I'm told those from the RIVER sport do fit but I don't know from which model year RR sport, or the part numbers. Any assistance will be highly appreciated

Bit unclear which engine size your D3 actually is....if you haven't got the V8 brakes they are worth the additional spend.
Dependant on the wheel sizes you have (I believe have to be 19" or larger) there is a move to Brembo brakes that have more pots or pistons.
my experience from bog standard to V8 on my D3 is they work far more progressively (not brakes & no brake) & would appear to be going to last beyond the usual mileage which was for me about 22k before pads done & discs maybe 4/5's done.
Discos are a vehicle with a lot of mass...they take some brake effort to slow.
Even if you use the (auto) gears to slow you they still don't last that long
People to contact on here are:
Bodsy..... brake bible man.
Auto Factors....who supply al the different makes with good prices & quick delivery.
Duckworths.....another parts factor...some seem to use.
Both will advise the commonality of RRS parts to D3. BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.

D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.

Hi... I think You would already have V8 brakes if you have 4.4 petrol .. although I may be wrong.
