A Range Rover weighs well over two tonnes and is capable of very high speeds, so its brakes work harder than almost any other family vehicle. Heat cycling in the Gulf accelerates pad glazing and disc warping, and the electronic parking brake on later models has its own service requirements that many general garages simply skip.
We fit genuine Land Rover, Brembo and Textar friction components, machine or replace discs to the correct run-out tolerance, and use the correct workshop tool to retract and re-calibrate the electronic parking brake. Every brake job finishes with a fluid boiling-point test and a road test that includes an ABS check.
Brake Service & Repair on the Range Rover (Vogue)
The flagship Range Rover is the reason our workshop exists. From the L322 with its BMW-derived electronics to the aluminium L405 and the current L460, we have serviced and repaired every generation of the full-size Range Rover.
Engines we cover on this model: 3.0 TDV6/SDV6, 4.4 TDV8/SDV8, 5.0 V8 Supercharged, 3.0 Ingenium, P400e PHEV. Production 2002 – present (L322, L405, L460). Faults we see most often on the Range Rover (Vogue) include air suspension compressor and strut leaks, timing chain wear on 3.0 v6 diesel and 5.0 v8, coolant crossover pipe leaks on the v8, and each is diagnosed with the model-specific procedure before any parts are recommended.
What the service includes

How we work
Every job begins with a proper diagnosis on the lift and on Land Rover's diagnostic platform. You receive a written report, photos and a fixed price on WhatsApp before any work begins. Genuine or OE-equivalent parts are used, every repair carries a written warranty, and the vehicle is road tested before handover.
Frequently asked questions
How often should Range Rover brake pads be replaced?
Typically every 30,000 to 50,000 km depending on driving style. Heavy city driving and towing shorten this considerably.
Do I need to replace the discs with the pads?
Not always. We measure disc thickness and run-out and only recommend replacement when they are below the manufacturer's minimum or warped.
Why does my electronic parking brake keep faulting?
Most often the actuator motor or the rear caliper mechanism is sticking. We can service or replace it and recalibrate the system.
