Thanks Karl - that’s very helpful.
I read “Pontoon”’s post with interest as he seems to say that you can bypass using the drain holes completely but I don’t fully understand his procedur ... |

Hi, I had the same problem in my 2014 AB (with the 1700W sig-ref system) a few months ago.
After much swearing and googling , a combination of this fixed it:
1). Remove the 3 or 4 fuses in the ... |

Colour and labelling aside, the standard front brakes on a standard sdv6 HSE in Nov 2015, were 350mm dia discs with 4 pot calipers (probably Brembo, possibly not painted red or labelled).

| The first non-Brembo L494 I saw was when my boss bought a SDV6 Dynamic in 2017/8 and I noticed his brakes were far smaller than my 2014 L494 when parked next to each other - I then looked into it on t ... |

| As far as I know, all L494 models were fitted with the same Brembo brakes (some branded, most not) until around 2017/8 when smaller JLR brakes were fitted to most models. So, if the wheels are factory ... |
