Ok red light on dash and low break pad warning on display.

You will need new brake wear sensors too if you have let them get to the point of the light coming on.
Best pads IMO are EBC, Google EBC direct for mail order.

No idea, I don't have (or want) an L322. Apart from LR, you could try Island 4 x 4; Rimmer Bros; Famous 4 etc. You need to look see first, it may only be one sensor that needs replacing.

Got my sensors from CAFCO, pads are Delphi from same place...

EBC make real good pads, but considering I don't drive like a complete loon, Delphi Pads will do me fine!

Personally do not rate the ebc stuff at all. I used to get really bad brake fade on the red stuff (not landy).

No they are seperate to the pad although mounted on them.

Two required one for the front and one for the rear!

No, it's much more expensive to have them separate especially as once triggered they have to be replaced. Brilliant design With the L322 it's better to replace the pads before they get to the point of triggering the sensor.
Personally, I'd bypass the fecking things.

I will see if i can dig out the invoice, from top of head was about £85-90 for all four wheels plus two sensors!

Will try and find the invoice!

From Camberly Auto Factors (they have branches dotted around) but you could try any decent auto factors like Unity or if you want delivered, Island are no doubt the best on price! Although Paddocks or Famous Four are good too!

Damn blast and bugger! I wish you'd made this post years ago. I've been using this internet thingy all wrong. I've been asking for advice on things but then gone off and used a search engine to do all the leg work, to find best prices and suppliers!
Honestly if I'd known I could just get others to do it whilst I sit back and quaff wine/coffee/champers ................. :hysterically_laughi
