highlandmist Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 In my search for brake parts I was just double checking stuuf on Paddocks with LR Direct. The front discs for my 1993 Defender 90 200 tdi chassis LA933*** Paddocks list FRC7329 but LR Direct say these are for |Defender up to 1991 http://www.paddockspares.com/frc7329sd-paddock-performance-brake-discs-pair-solid-slotted-and-drilled.html http://www.lrdirect.com/FRC7329-Brake-Disc-Fr-90-110-91-Rr-86-90/?sfi=frc7329 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 LR Direct is wrong. Those discs are used on the front of all non-vented post-1991 90s, and some pre-1991 (non-vented) 110s. So they are correct for the front of your vehicle. Don't bother with drilled/grooved though. They'll just fill with mud etc. off road and wear your pads down in no time. This is where I'd be putting my money: http://www.paddockspares.com/frc7329m-brake-disc-solid-mintex.html Had Mintex discs and pads all round on my 90 for years now, work very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 because Defender after 1991 had vented disc up front.as a option the paddocks ones you linked to are NOT genuine LR parts, they are from another maker, LR never specced drilled/slotted front discs.

highlandmist Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Aye got the solid ones. LR direct lost out as they would not ship to highlands. I have had loads of parts from them before including the fuel tank. The weight of both front and rear discs must have rang alarm bells.

highlandmist Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Mmm, just wondering. I ordered the discs and also new hub gaskets and lock washer bu8t now I wonder whether I should have bought new inner hub seals for the new discs. http://www.lrdirect.com/FTC4785-Oil-Seal-Inner-Hub-Ds-Late-90-110/?sfi=ftc4785 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Tis usually worth doing bearings and seals while the hubs are off to change the discs as you invariably end up disturbing them and getting carp in there. For the price of a set of Timken bearings and a new seal it is a bit of a no brainer unless you know they have only recently been done.
