Which make brake pads??
Need to change the brake pads soon on my 2015 90, which aftermarket/perhaps genuine pads are people running and which ones do you recommend?
Thanks, 15 plate 2.2SW XS

Genuine. Yes they are made by someone else but who? All others appear to squeal on mine. Genuine don’t, and come with proper fitting kit.

I’ve had good success from Pagid on the last 4 changes I’ve made - admittedly all different marques, BMW, Ford, Saab & Peugeot. But I’ll be using them again. Always good quality.

I recently fitted a set of Borg and Beck pads to the rear axle of my 110 and they seem absolutely fine. Purchased from my local motor factors. Darren

Mines the same as landy Andy, everything but genuine seems to squeal. Probably the more expensive option, but the squealing was driving me mad!

Ferrodo with Ceramic brake grease (dunno if it helps just good practice) and I don't have brake squeal and it performs just as well as it did with genuine. Thumbs Up Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest

As above , just fitted ferrodo all round . Brakes very well and not a squeak . I actually didn’t copper slip the backs as I was told that the gel layer that the pads already have built in would suffice . So far so good https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/

I buy the cheapest I can get. No squeel at all. Yes they don't last as long but also the genuine one will wear fast in wet sand. Half a block thickness in one day is common without abs and tc.
So I rather replace a little more often then spend loads of money. Mr. Green

Ferodo make the genuine pads.
I use mintex, for me they are the best combination of quality and value for money.

I fitted some on my 2014 110 supplied by Euro Car Parts via eBay earlier this year for all four corners and they've been fine. I think they were Pagid (certainly not some unbranded ones) but they weren't very expensive. And no squeals.

I tend to use Delphi (AP Lockheed) as they come with anti rattle shins and have no problem with them.
I will not fit another set of Mintex pads again. They just squeal!

Thanks everyone, think I’ll try Ferodo pads this time and see how I get on with them, the genuine pads I’ve currently got have squealed from new anyway! 15 plate 2.2SW XS

Just out of curiosity are the front and rear brake pads for a Defender 90 the same ?
