Changed my brake pads for second time on the LR4, 34K miles. Rotors are only halfway through their life, fronts at 28.7+mm for example. My wife drives the car all day around town, stopping and going traffic. I am surprised others have had to replace rotors already. When removing the brake sensors, be careful you don't loose or throw away the sensor clip that can get stuck on the pads.
I always follow Bodsy's bible for Disco3 brakes, A few photos to help with some differences to the LR4. The first one is critical for any LR4 owner removing wheels, I extend my 18 breaker bar with a 30 black pipe, makes the dealer over torqued nuts come off easier and cost $7 at hardware store.
By the way, the wooden tool I use to hold rear caliper up and to help push in the pistons is for sale if anyone is interested.
