Does your defender sound like a train going along, well mine did! After a bit of hunting I found a different brake pad retaining kit to try out. It seams to have taken the slop out of the pads but only time will tell.

new pins at top and old ones at bottom.

A pic of them in the calliper

I'll report back to see if it fixes it

Yeah they fix it. Put hundreds of them on and they've stopped every one

Yep Tdci uses very similar wire pins except they hook around the pins at one end
Always worked for me

Nice post! I'm looking for something exactly like this for a while now. I'll definitely source some. Been battling with that annoying rattle for a while now.

Is there a part number for this kit? The closest I found is LR009769 but doesn't seem to be exactly this.

+1 im fed up of retreiving the normal spiral things that work their way through the pad.

Sorry for digging up an old thread here.

Do these retainers prevent the front pads "rocking" in the caliper housing?

Any other improvements?

mine were knocking when going over bumps because they were rocking I found putting a more heavy duty spring over the pin stopped it
