There are many decent manufacturers of brake discs and pads. Even Britpart... No need to get turned over by a dealer, but I'd go for a semi well-known brand considering that you'll be staking your life on the parts. Chinesium discs will be cheap, but would you??

Search for a user called "Rhian Pimblott" in the "Range Rover Mk3 - L322" FB group. Seems to have all the latest updates.

Stressing the engine isn't the problem I suspect. How does the chocolate gearbox handle the torque gains?

@wammers that's not pedantry, that's accuracy. Quite different. Sorry to be pedantic ;)

GAP IID Tool seems to be the recommendation from those in the know. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

There has been at least one thread about it on here in the past.

Is that not in Rave? Pretty sure it will have minimum safe thicknesses.

Once mine is back together (I like to look to the distant future) I'll be fitting a tyre pressure monitoring system!

Consensus seems to be L322. Seen photos from another angle that clearly show the rear lights and high-level 3rd brake light. Could be perspective though and the flames are not actually that car, but certainly looks like the L322.
