Shudder when braking!
Hi folks
My Disco3 shudders when you brake on the drivers side. The brakes were renewed a few weeks before it started so I'm assuming its not them! The guy who does my car now tells me its the wishbone, but I'll need to renew the bushes too, so parts are costing £200.
Does this sound right?
Any idea of cost if I took it to Morrisons Land Rover? ,as its already booked in there to get the n/s back door latch replaced as the door is locked shut!
It never rains but it pours!!!

What brand of discs were fitted? Could be down to poor quality discs, have seen it many times before My D3 Build Thread

He initially said that, I think, the disc or pad could be warped due to the weather conditions!
Would it be worth just getting the garage to do it??

Have a look through Bodsy's brake bible. Nothing complicated about replacing them.
It would be interesting to know which brand of discs were fitted. Had the Britpart MD up yesterday, telling me that they had sorted all their issues with brake discs, and many other "known" issues with Britpart branded items.
I would recommend Delphi or Ferodo discs, personally. Never had an issue with fitment or quality My D3 Build Thread
