Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I bought new front discs and pads for my 2006 Range Rover sport tdv6 HSE, at the weekend I finally had time to fit them but when I tried to put the new pads back in the caliper the outside pad fitted in as normal but the inside pad wont go in as its to tight to the disc!! I have brembo calipers on the front and I did ask them at the shop if I needed brembo discs and they said that I didn't so can anybody tell me if this is true, have the brembo discs got a different offset to bring the disc central to the brembo calliper?

Ive not had that problem with either aftermarket pads or disc, have you pushed the pistons back in? 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

Has the piston gone right back so its almost flush with the caliper? They suffer with corrosion on the pistons and it stops them going all the way back spiteful Range Rover Sport tdv8

Thanks for replying guys but yes the pistons are all the way in, I only rebuild them last year so there working fine now that's why I'm changing the discs because the calipers sized and warped the discs, when the caliper if fitted with no pads in you can clearly see it's not central 🤔

Don't know about RRs Brembos yet but thats whats on mine. On other cars the calipers are 'floating' they move on slides.
If this is the case the slide pins may be sticking and need to be removed , cleaned, inspected lightly coated with CFC and checked for movement. Then it just might be a case of getting the caliper in the right spot. 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.

Thanks for your reply but the brembos just bolt straight on there's no sliders there a fixed unit unfortunately:(

Thought it was CRC a spray lubricant bit like our WD40. Thought CFC was the propellant gas used in things like aerosols.
