rocky Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi,i recently bought some brake pads for my tdci 90 '07 plate, the discs are non-vented. In the defender manual it states that the pads are shamfered and the ones i bought are not. Are the shamfered ones for vented discs? advice greatly appreciated.

western Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 the chamfer won't make a great diefference, my front brakes are vented & the current set of pads were not chamfered IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks Western, i've just been under the vehicle, the front pads on it are shamfered but the ones on the rear are not. I did price a full set of pads from the main agents and they were £40 for the rear and £60 for the front. The ones i bought from paddocks don't have any. I'll just fit them and check them regularly, i don't want to knacker the discs. Regards, rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 doubt you damage the disc, I haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSN Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The chamfering is generally to solve a noise/squeal/groan issue I believe. At worst case, you may get some undesirable noise. Certainly shouldn't get any damage issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi, many thanks for your replies and if anyone is interested it has been snowing for a few hours at the Braes of Glenlivet where I work. The hills are white but unfortunately the road is not. Regards, rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
