Can any one confirm that vanquish 4x4 have supplied drilled and groved discs discounted to users of this forum?
I have emailed them a few times but have not yet recieved a reply.  
Can anyone give any other reccommendations on any brake discs or suppliers ?

Discs are discs... Drilled and grooved just tend to dissipate heat and dust quicker than normal discs. Be warned though, they chew through pads quicker, and its not uncommon for the material between the drillings to fracture and crack. TBH, unless you are doing a lot of heavy towing or high speed driving, I wouldnt bother with fancy discs
Pads are a different matter though, you get what you pay for. Buy cheap pads, and they will probably wear out quicker and cause a lot more dust.
More expensive pads (uprated) are generally worth the extra outlay. Better 'bite' from cold, and you will struggle to get any fade. Stay away from all Greenstuff though, and other non-ceramic pads from EBC.
FWIW, I run Redstuff ceramic pads in my car, and other than the squealing during bedding-in, I cant fault them at all. Ferodo DS2500 and Mintex Extremes are highly rated, and although expensive, you will struggle to find a better set of pads  My D3 Build Thread

I did the same as you and got the same result, I just ordered them from ebay and paid that as its much cheaper than other options.
Just fitted all mine today took about three hours total to change all for corners with pads and discs.
They are based in Middlewhich as I found out later I found there number and they trade under the name of Land Ranger Company Tele. eBay Item No. 016066834981.
The guy is very helpful when I spoke with him ...
