| Minimum rear pad thickness for a LR 2nd hand sale?? |
|
As per title really, pick up our 60 plate D4 on Fri, it should be being serviced pre picking up but was wondering what the minimum pad thickness is per LR schedule as they looked on the low side.
The salesman of course would only come out with 'they will be checked but if within LR second hand sales spec they wont be changed'
So would just like to be pre armed really as to what the min is.
Cheers

Think sensor comes on at about 2mm ..sure someone will correct me if wrong 
Now if you were paying for the service I am sure they would soon let you know if they didn't think they would last for 12 months 
Not heard of a '2nd hand sales spec' for pads before... tyres yes but if they are down to 2-3mm i should push for em to be changed Cheers Ian

Cheers, tyres were near the LR limit of 3mm but of course they say thats fine so we are swapping our existing D4 wheels over that have GG's on with loads of tread.

There is no laid down spec on an LRA for pads other than "check brake pads and replace if neccessary"
rule of thumb is replace if they will not make next service TLO has left the building.......

I only get 22000 miles out of front pads so if half worn would need replacing!
