Out in the wife's (1998) Disco 1 today (38,700miles) and there's a nasty graunching from the front brakes. At home, I find that the outer pad is no more, the inner has about 1/8" friction material left. So what I need from you guys is: Is this normal?
My Defender lasted about the same (luckily I caught them before they chewed the disc). Apart from feeling sick that I didn't catch it, I'm wondering if there's a fault with the caliper(?).
Any comments (about the brakes, not my maintenance abilities!!) |

I replaced the brake pads on my 98 Disco at about 33K miles. I suspect that is about normal.
Thanks,

the normal brake pad life is 25000 to 35000 miles depending on driving style and where driven(highway or city)i have seen pads as low as 15000 miles need replacing. |
