Yes - a warning will sound when you need to get them changed. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

In my experience - the warning sound is a phone call from the service receptionist at the LR dealer. The sound describes how I need new pads and discs all round and that the cost will be £#@# ! I then plead with the sound to say "surely not", "do the discs really need replaced already", "is it really that much". I then loose the discussion and slink off into the corner feeling poorer. Its not a good sound. RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

......Yes, all specs have them, but only on nearside front, and off side rear, so you can find the others worn away before you actually get any warning, which is useful Whistle RRS TDV8 Buck Blue (no, not now in my dreams). ..........D3 TDclankety clankV6 ............BMW 318i

Be very careful here....

The sensors are apparently notoriously iffy. First I knew of rear break pad wear was metal on metal.

usual punch up with the local dealer and my discs were replaced. Car was under warranty and I therefore expect the sensors to work.

Personally I would check them visually from time to time.

I had a 15000 mile service a couple of months ago and the service report said brake pads 10% worn.

I was impressed by this but a couple of days ago the brake pad warning light came on, the car has now done 20000 miles, I took it in and they say I need new pads!! How could they be 10% worn @ 15000 and now need replacing??
