Hi,
I have a 2005 Disco3 HSE 4.4V8. The dashboard light just came on today saying to "Check Pads".
I realize that once this comes up I need to get this sorted soon as possible, but is there a rough guideline for how many KMs are left before they go srapeing the discs to pieces ? Will I be OK doing a few hundred KMs for instance ? Or 1000km even ? I know these warning systems often come on far too early... but is there a guideline for this in this case ?
Also, any idea how much it will cost at the stealers ? How long does it take normally ? 15mins probably with a book time of 3 hours.. LOL 
Cheers

My local stealer quoted £215 for front pads.
They can shove it, doing it myself using bodsys guide and a bro in law whose a chief oil rag.
And no the light is on for a reason, if you go too far you could damage your warning sensor and discs.
Get them done

They can vary from brand to brand but I get mine from TLO our site supporter and all round parts wizard.
Depends on your age of vehicle and the spec etc but I'd say £70+ for original LR OEM. All things shipping, storage, transport. UK and worldwide.

The guide below in my sig will help you, but do you have brembo brakes? If so, the fronts require a different method that isn't in my bible. Bodsys Brake Bible
D4/D3 Remote FBH heat kits
BAS Remaps/ EGR Blank
Transmission Flush
Software updates/enabling
Clock/ SNOTM /3Flash / 4x4Info /BT Update /Service Reset/Error Codes / Gearbox Reset

Thanks for your replies. Will try and get a few quotes, have to admit that I do not fancy doing it myself... Seeing how it is based on how the car stops. LOL.
Cheers.

I was quoted stupid amounts by the stealers, going on the Internet got OEM parts, front, rear pads and discs plus sensors for £209 delivered, using Bodsy's excellent guide did it myself and was surprised how easy it was, I haven't done anything like that in years 
Oh and I drove around for 2 months with the light on and there was still meat left on the pads when I changed them, though that is no recommendation
