I have replaced the brakes twice on my car (it is over 122,000miles now). The last time was about 3 years ago. I always go to my usual motor factor (Hereward car & Truck) in Stamford. The discs came in a Brembo box and the price, from memory, was similar to the Duckworth price for everything. You could call them for a price.

I would take a look at advanced factors, they're a site sponsor. I usually buy from them, they do a kit with everything you need, brake sensors, new retaining bolts, copper grease, the lot really.

It's fairly obvious, they're only fitted to the front, the callipers are easily twice the size of the rear, painted back with Brembo in white writing facing out. |

I have been using Zimmerman disks and ATE pads on my TDV6.. OEM on most BMW's, They are not expensive and zink coated. very good braking power, hardly any dust and very good performance.

Be careful. I paid over 350 quid to have some non genuine discs and pads fitted. Car shook like crazy with them on. Had new LR ones fitted since by rovertune, and is a different car. I would definitely recommend the LR ones if you can. 2010 TDV8 |

My front callipers appear to be larger than the rear ones... all are black, none have any branding on them I can see.

The front callipers on most vehicles are usually bigger than the rear. It will have a fairly obvious Brembo logo written on it if it is a Brembo (unless it's been repainted), best bet would be to either google the RRS Brembo so you can see what they look like or take a pic of yours and let the internet work it's magic.

I suspect you are right regarding my over thinking....

Have a look on Advanced Factors (site sponsor). They do a variety of makes. I bought Borg & Beck discs & pads from them a while ago and haven't had any problems.

Does anyone know who the OEM are for the genuine LR parts? |

The rear discs on my 08MY TDV8 have Brembo stamped in the face of the hub. They were replaced recently following an EPB failure. Indy uses LR parts unless requested otherwise. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
