Good luck on the purchase.
I bought my 2006 with 161k on it and it needed 5k worth of indie shop work.
I agreed to 3k worth or work and it is having an issue with the coolant system which is causing them to hold up the release of the rig to me. The system won't burp and the air won't come out. It keeps spitting the coolant out of the tank. They tell me it missing the extra bleeder valve. But now it might need the radiator or water pump. So either another 600 repair or 300 repair.
I'm only telling you this so you know what can happen.

If I was to do brakes on my LR3 today, this is what I would buy:
Front
AKEBONO Part # EUR1098 Euro Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad
CENTRIC Part # 12522009 High Carbon Alloy
Rear
AKEBONO Part # EUR1099 Euro Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad
CENTRIC Part # 12522010 High Carbon Alloy

It's what I run on any of my euro trash, be it VW, or LR.

I went for the ebc pads and drilled and slotted rotors from AB and am very happy with them. Just make sure you order the right brake pad wear sensors. They go by Vin number. CHANGE all fluids the first chance you get and don't skimp on the higher quality fluids
