Problem Getting the Right Brake Pads (2018 Discovery 5 HSE)
RE: Need help about the parts number of all brake pads.
Dear Dudes:
I am new to this forum, and seeking help about the right brake pads information of my Disco.
The car is 2018 Discovery 5 HSE 3.0 V6 Supercharged,
original Black 20 inch wheels with a pair of strange front brake calipers,
VIN ending: JA059626
Location: Vancouver, Canada (not a heaven for Land Rover parts, I lived in UK before)
Now nearly 70,000 kms , so it's time to change the brake pads.
I spent quite a long time to identify the right parts number, but no luck, whatever I search, I either get "Discovery Sport" or wrong parts at all.
Youtube got a video about the pads, but the front is different, mine seems like 4-Piston calipers with 2 pins setup, but cannot take out the pads from the back of the caliper (like Brembo).
Thought to disassemble the caliper and take the pads out and check it out, but my space is tight to use a break bar to loose the tight bolt holds the caliper (135 NM tight I guess), and my trolley cannot lift the car high enough too provide a good clearance. So put everything back, and seeking help from you guys to get the right parts before doing anything.
I will attach some photos for you dudes to give a help hands.
By the way, any jack point suggestion for the front axel if I need to put a stand on the side jack point. (Last photo)
Sorry I can't help with specific part numbers, I'm sure someone else will post info to help you.
But I want to caution you before doing the rear pads. It is easy to do them but you must deactivate the electronic parking brake before changing the pads.
Failure to deactivate the electronic parking brake will damage it and cost lots of money and troubles.
Procedures are listed elsewhere on this forum. Alternatively, you can unbolt the EPB from the back of the caliper, but if it were me, I'd still let the vehicle go to sleep and then disconnect the battery before unbolting the EPB or after getting it into service mode.
Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, the EPB is a problem. As you suggested, I will discount the battery connection on the EPB after the service mode, for extra safety.

Thanks gmfain, it should be the same.
just wondering if there is any oem or LR part number can refer to, I am thinking of a set of Brembo NAO ceramic pads or similar like Akebono.
sometimes those websites are not giving the matching picture, only part number can make it right when we order the replacement.
