Thanks, that’s great news.

Read elsewhere that one reason for the rears wearing quicker is to do with ESP/EBD bringing things back in to line. Mind you, also read that someone has just fitted his second set of rear pads at 140k so read into it what you like

So with that kind of driving what would I expect out of a set of pads & discs?
Just had MOT at 38k and second set of front pads 60% worn. First set of rears 20% worn. Seem a complete imbalance. Brake seem to be fine but wear suggests rears not contributing much! 2001 P38A Gone
2004 Disco TD5 Gone
2009 Disco 3 2.7TDV6 Gone
2014 F2 2.2 SD4 HSE Gone
2015 DS 2.2 HSE Gone
2016 Disco 4 Landmark...…...ah, back to a proper 4x4!

Afternoon,
Just back from service, vehicle showing 29,129 miles and rear pads 90% worn, fronts 70% worn.
Me and the previous owner are not speed demons and it gets treated very very gently.
LR wanted £706.36 Inc VAT for the pleasure. 
That being said, has anyone got any recommendations on Pads? 
Ive seen some recommendations for EBC Greenstuff?
Cheers
