...but a useful resurection for me!
I've read through this thread and the links attached. I'm particularly intrigued by the LR bulletin regarding correct handed fitmeny of pads.
I'm just about to change the pads on my 05 FL and have gotten hold of a set of Mintex pads. However, they are not handed; each pad has an equal chamfer on either end. I seem to remember the Pagid ones I fitted previously being the same as these Mintex ones.
The brakes do squeal on braking and seem to wear fairly quickly (8-10k miles out of a set?). They also have never been particularly efficient (nasty fade at high speed \ heavy loads).
Would I be better getting a main dealer set of pads or is there anything else I need to know about the parts or the job?

OK thanks, it looks like they "rationalised" the design then! I'll carry on as I was.
Unless somebody else has tips to stop the squealing?

I always thought the squeal was down to the pads vibrating when braking. Copper grease on the correct bit's solved this on mine.
If there's a lip on the brake disc outer edge that could rub when the wheel turns.
I put new ventilated discs and pads on mine and they squeeled like hell
cured the problem with copperslip on the back of the pads
made the mistake of not cleaning the calipers off thougherly enough the first time and on further inspection found the pasenger side caliper was sticking so just bought a new caliper
hope u get it sorted as I know it drove me nuts
