Lots of feedback!

TBH I thought there would have been a much bigger divide Shocked

Well it doesn’t take much to work out that they do prove to be worth replacing/overhauling especially on the rears, I wouldn’t have thought it would so much of a difference in pad wear!

I haven’t got it high enough on my to do list to warrant overhauling them so a new set is looking likely, perhaps a galve set? 2016 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8

Does anybody know the hardware size to re attach these?

I took off years ago when I did a big brake kit but had huge wear diff on pads so going to reinstall after re powder coating them...

just about to place a big order with Accu.co.uk so would like to combine

Really it depends on your use of the vehicle.

If you do heavy muddy off roading then take them off as they will trap mud/stones and make cleaning difficult.

For normal driving and standard green laning type off roading then leave them on. They prevent excessive brake wear on the rear pads particularly and also keep a lot of road spray off the discs which helps with braking after driving on wet roads (motorways especially).


Curious, how does a brake shield prevent excessive wear? Monsieur Le Grenadier

my guess it keeps lots of the dirt / grit out, my rears without guards wore down on the insides totally uneven (7mm or so difference)

fronts with the guards are even..

The actual design purpose of the brake shield is to maximise clean contact between the pads and the disc. Ie minimising dirt, debris, salt and water. Brake shields improve braking efficiency.
I would not run without them... in any road conditions 👍

By reducing the amount of road spray that reaches the discs which, if used on unsealed roads, is laden with abrasive grit.

I fitted a pair of those last year and they're ok, although I did have to re-fix one of the brackets that was loose in the bag Rolling Eyes

If you put the part no. into eBay, DA1860, there are lots of sellers with prices down to around £51 / pair. Darren

As Retroanconda said, there is a significant amount of abrasives just in road surface water alone and that particles of grit and stone, metals etc and that will wear things down.
That doesn’t even include mud, clay and things like that that also are by nature. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

They don't look very galvanised to me and I've never heard of klokkerholm !
Perhaps it's just me but they're half the price of YRMs hot dipped galvanised offerings and that sets off alarm bells for me ! If it looks too good to be true ...
