Range Rover specialistsRange Rover brake pads and disc replacement in Dubai Investment Park 2, by Royal Prince Auto Care. We measure every disc first.
Tell us your car, what it needs and how to reach you. A service advisor will call you back to talk through the work.
The work we carry out on Range Rover models at our Dubai Investment Park workshop. Open the full details below.
Worn Range Rover brake pads or discs show 6 signs, 3 on the dash and 3 felt through the car. The dash signs are an amber BRAKE lamp, a red BRAKE lamp and a flashing parking brake lamp. The others are judder, a knock under braking and a long pedal, as named for the L405 and L494.
On an L405 or L494, this lamp signals worn brake pads or a fault in Emergency Brake Assist. We measure the pads first and replace them at their limit. With the pads above that limit, we read the Emergency Brake Assist fault and repair it.
The red lamp on an L405 signals a low brake fluid level or a fault in Electronic Brake Distribution. We trace a fluid loss to the leaking hose, pipe or calliper and replace that part, or read and repair the EBD fault.
On an L405 or L494 with 360 mm front discs, JLR traces this judder to uneven pad deposits and high working temperatures. JLR's fix is new front discs with its listed replacement pads, and we fit both as an axle set.
JLR links a cyclic knock on an L405, L494 or L560 Velar to uneven pad material on the front discs and to disc surface roughness. JLR's process is an ABS fault check, then cleaning and sanding of each disc face. We follow that process and confirm the result with moderate stops from 50 km/h.
On an L405, the red parking brake lamp flashes when the system finds a fault while the brake is working. At other times, an amber brake lamp with a message marks an electric parking brake fault. Our technicians read the parking brake fault memory, then repair or replace the part the code names.
On an L405, unusually long pedal travel or a large loss of fluid can mean extended stopping distances or complete brake failure. We check the fluid level and each hose and calliper for leaks, replace the leaking part and bleed the system.
The job covers these items on every Range Rover brake pads and disc replacement:
Rear pads last about twice as long as front pads, so we judge each axle on its own measurement.
Range Rover brake pads and discs in Dubai wear out from 6 causes. Three come from traffic and heat: stop-start driving, hot spots and glazed pads. The other 3 are long standing, wading or deep mud, and seized slide pins, and each adds friction wear or uneven contact.
Over 3.5 million vehicles use Dubai's road network daily, and each stop in that traffic adds pad wear. We read the wear on every removed pad. A tapered pad leads us to the calliper, which we then release or replace.
What you get once we finish the brake work on your Range Rover:
The steering wheel and brake pedal stay still under braking from speed.
Dubai's periodic vehicle test checks parking brake performance, and a correctly set electric parking brake holds the car through that check.
Fresh electrical wear contacts mean the dash warns again when the new pads reach their limit.
Pads changed before their friction material runs out keep the metal backing plate off the disc.
Fluid with a sound boiling point resists vapour lock, the bubbles in the circuit that let the pedal sink.
A circuit bled of all air gives a pedal that bites early in its travel.
The Range Rover Sport SV offers carbon ceramic brakes as an option, the first on a Range Rover. Its standard set is uprated Dual-Cast iron discs, and either set works with 8-piston front callipers, the largest fitted to a Range Rover. The carbon ceramic set cuts unsprung weight by 34 kg and resists high temperatures better.
Carbon ceramic discs wear differently from iron discs: their weight falls about 1.25 per cent over their life. Wear is therefore judged by weight or with a dedicated gauge, not by thickness alone.
We read the disc type from the car's equipment and order parts to match. We refer carbon ceramic disc and pad work to a Land Rover dealer.
A Range Rover rear brake job needs diagnostics on the L405, L494, L460 and L461, because each carries an electric parking brake. On the L460 and L461, that brake also applies when P is pressed. That brake has a pad-changing mode set by a diagnostic tool.
On the L405 and L494, the electric parking brake works on the rear wheels from a switch. Winding an electric parking brake piston back by hand, as on a cable handbrake, damages its pressure nut or spindle. We retract the pistons through the diagnostic tool and run the calibration at the end of the job.
Each Range Rover brake job follows these steps in our workshop.
We drive the car to confirm the noise, judder or pull, and to rule out worn suspension as its cause. The brake fault memory is then read in the bay.
A gauge reads each disc in 4 places or more, and the lowest figure is set against MIN TH, the limit stamped on the disc. For judder on an L405 or L494, we also check the runout of both front discs with the wheels on.
Each piston, seal and slide guide is checked. The guides then get the grease that the car or calliper maker specifies.
We clean every trace of rust and dirt from the hub face. The new disc then goes on, and its runout stays at 0.10 mm or less per revolution.
New pads go in as an axle set with new electrical wear contacts. Pushing the pistons back raises the fluid in the reservoir, so its level is watched throughout.
Any hydraulic circuit we opened is bled. The final drive uses gentle stops of 3 seconds or less, with no stabs at the pedal, while we check for noise and vibration.
Tell us the model and what the brakes do, by phone or WhatsApp, to book a Range Rover brake check.
The cost of Range Rover brake pads and disc replacement in Dubai turns on 4 factors. These are pads alone or pads with discs, the disc type, the disc size and any extra repair. A 22MY long-wheelbase Range Rover lists 380 mm or 400 mm front discs by engine, and our measurements set which factors apply.
What sets our Range Rover brake work apart:
We look up JLR's Special Service Messages for the symptom, and JLR's documented fix shapes the repair.
Brake parts are ordered by the car's chassis number, so each disc and pad matches the car's build.
Pad springs and anti-rattle clips lose their temper in brake heat, so we renew them. An old shim never goes back on.
Grease and oil stay off the pads and discs, and a contaminated pad or disc is replaced.
Each wheel goes back on with its nuts tightened in sequence with a torque wrench, to the car maker's figure.
A 2015 recall in Qatar covered a possible brake hose defect on 2013 to 2014 Range Rover and 2014 to 2015 Range Rover Sport models. We inspect the hoses on these cars and refer recall work to a Land Rover retailer.
We replace pads and discs on these Range Rover models:
Range Rover brakes in Dubai last longer when owners keep 6 habits, 3 for the fluid and 3 for driving and servicing. The first 3 are a fluid change on time, a weekly fluid level check and drying the brakes after water. We check the pads, discs and fluid at each Range Rover service we carry out.
Land Rover sets a brake fluid change every 36 months, regardless of distance. At every brake check, our boiling point test condemns fluid below 180 °C, and we replace it.
On an L405, the brake fluid level is a weekly check on level ground, and the car is not driven below the MIN mark.
On an L405, light and repeated brake applications after heavy rain or a water crossing dry the pads and discs.
Land Rover's UAE schedule sets a service every 13,000 km or 12 months. Land Rover treats repeated dust or sand driving as arduous use, which shortens that gap.
The car maker's bedding-in procedure comes first for new pads and discs. Without one, the first 200 km or more get gentle braking and no ABS stops.
On an L405, driving with the electric parking brake on, or slowing the car with it, seriously damages the brake system.
Tell us the make, model and what the car is doing, and we book it in at our Dubai Investment Park 2 workshop. Free pickup and drop-off by our driver comes with a service contract. Every service comes with a free car wash.
Regular servicing keeps small faults from turning into big repairs. Both packages are carried out by certified technicians using genuine or quality parts.
Each package is quoted for your car. Call +971 50 216 0864 with the make and model for an estimate.

Dubai Investment Park 2. Ramps, a body shop and a detailing bay, all in one place.
No. Land Rover in the UAE classes brake pads as wear and tear items, worn mainly by the driver's braking pattern, so they count as consumables. We measure the pads and replace them as an axle set.
Yes. On an L405 or L494, the car can still be driven with care, but the fault needs qualified attention urgently. We check the pads and the Emergency Brake Assist system, then replace worn pads or repair the fault.
No. New pads go on discs that are still above their stamped minimum thickness. A disc at or below that limit is replaced together with its partner on the axle, and new pads go in with them.
A Range Rover takes Land Rover brake fluid. For a top-up when that is unavailable, a low-viscosity DOT4 fluid to ISO 4925 class 6 is the listed alternative. A fluid below the DOT class Land Rover specifies never goes into the car.
No. Pad, disc, calliper and parking brake work, diagnostic steps included, takes place in our Dubai Investment Park 2 bays. Recall work goes to a Land Rover retailer.
