at 24000 Solitaire told me mine had about 4-6000 kms left in them. Im still on the same set at 76000 and they look like 5 or more mm left (just a quick visual not measured) I suggest you check for your self.

I plan to chance the pads myself when due and I am reading this thread with interest.
I had been told on three separate occassions (Graeme Cooper, All Fourx4 (LR specialist supplier) and LR dealer) that they do NOT recommend using anything other than genuine LR brake pads and discs. They had found that the different friction coefficient (correct word?) causes problems with ABS and ETC.
But I am always open to all manners of car accessories and parts 
Are these aftermarket discs and pads proven items? ie they don't cause problems with ETC and ABS? Disco3 SE MY08, Rear lockers, Dual air, Long range tank, Cargo barrier, Rear Wheel carrier, BFG Mud Terrains on steel wheels, Rhino Platform rack, Rhino Aero bars, Traxide/Optima Yellow Top, 'Ever Smiling' TPMS , Rasta Front plate, ECB Nudge Bar, a whole garage full of camping toys....

ask these experts when you next see them what are you supposed to do when driving on dirt or wet or muddy roads with a different friction coefficient . how the pads and rotors handle pulling up the D3 and their longevity only time will tell but the way these systems work I should think that there will be no ill effects. there is a 48 tooth gear wheel on the CV joint which the sensor picks up and depending on the pulses sent back to the ABS module a speed will be acertained and brake fluid pressure will be adjusted accordingly. if a wheel locks it will still see the locking wheel and act appropriately. putting on different tyres alone and there newness/tread depth alone affects braking any way thats my opinion

I purchased LR pads last week. They have Ferodo painted on the back but they are also stamped TRW. So I guess TRW make them? You can purchase TRW pads for $82 each pair. I also tried to get aftermarket Ferodo and was told they are manufactured to 90% of OEM spec. TDV6 D3 HSE
