Mine is a March 2015 L494 with 13k miles on the clock. My car went in for the brake squeal to be investigated and I have been told I need new front pads as they are scored. Surely this is a warranty claim for the discs to be up so quickly? I have been told that discs are not covered under warranty but surely at this age and mileage it's a no brainer?

Currently waiting for LRPR to sort this out with LR but any thoughts?

I would be supprised if this is covered under warranty. You don't drive it like your Ferrari 458 I presume, do you?

Nope, that's why I have a 458 too!

For rotors to go wrong so quickly there has to be a manufacturing issue!

You won't get them done under warranty, as they are excluded, unless a manufacturer recall for a reason.
So easy to damage with things like 5 spoke alloys etc, small stones getting stuck easily score disc, so many get outs for dealers and sellers unfortunately. John

Cool thanks for the input, will let you know how I get on. Just find it unacceptable for a car to be asking for discs so soon. I have had them all (X5 (all gens), Previous RRS, Q7, XC90, Cayenne and a Lexus Rx) and never had a car asks for discs so soon! Won't be giving up so soon!

I expect the dealer doesn't know Sh!t. Scoring does not mean squealing? If they insist on disc replacement I would suggest that you get it in writing that if the brakes squeal after disc replacement they will refund the cost. Alternative, buy the disc direct from Brembo and replace yourself, easy task for the fronts. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

Scoring should not mean replacement, unless the overall thickness of the discs is below the minimum.

ALL used brake discs are scored to some degree or another. From an empirical physics perspective, it should have no effect whatsoever on braking performance (in fact the tiny increase in overall surface area could actually improve it!) MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Update: LR are covering the cost for new discs....result thanks to the great service department at LRPR who fought to get this approved.

I was pushed off the road in the first week of ownership to a verge in Derbyshire and it seems a stone just gouged into the disc over time after I informed LR it was pulling to that side, the dealer noticed this on it's 2 year service without any wheels off! What off road vehicle does this, there's no protection to this on the Bremco brakes.

Interesting post about protection, one thing that bothers me is the steering tie rods are in front of the axle, poor design as they can be hit and bent very easily. But I suppose most owners will not go off road? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.
