Land Rover Defender Puma 2008. Brakes issues

Hi there,

I am new in the forum. I just bought a Land Rover Defender 110 Puma 2008. Thanks in advance for the support.

It has an issue that it goes slightly to the left when I break. I have taken the wheels off and assessed the brakes / disc brakes, finding the following:


Front brakes:

Left:
pad left: 10mm
disc brake: 7mm & 7mm
pad right: 10mm
regular wear along both pads, they seem fairly new (new 12 - 12.7mm)
disc has slight depression of circa 1mm

Right:
pad left:9mm
disc brake: 8mm left, 6.5-7mm right
pad right: 8.5-9mm
regular wear along each pad, but disc seems slightly more worn on right / outer side.
disc also has slight depression of circa 1mm

NOTE: See photos attached, for the left and right wheel.

According to the manual, the disc breaks should be around 24 mm (they now are around 21-22mm) and the new break pads should be around 12.7mm (only needing to be replaced when they are 3mm).

Any advice on what could be causing the issue and whether I should replace the break pads and/or disc breaks? If so, what manufacturer would you recommend, where could I buy the parts in Cape Town and what price should I expect?

Thanks,
Javier
