the OEM pads will last for at least 50000kms street use :) that screetching noise is normal cuz the brakes still cold

nah it only lasted me 30,000kms and when i changed my brakes the mechanic said it could of been metal on metal ANYtime now so lucky me. but i didnt machine my discs yet and i have noticed a small tiny squeek when i slow down, could it be that the brakes need to to worn into or i need to machine my discs ?

Wow, only 30,000km from the rear pads. I'm up to 55,000km and there now due for replacement.

The pads may be glazed. I've seen anti-squeek sprays designed for brakes, but have never tried them. My wifes car barkes squeels like a mofo after it rains.

Hey ticktock, my dealer gave me a 2006 Euro for the day and I gave it 2 cold starts and it felt exactly the same as my car. So my conclusion is that it's normal, although it is a little annoying. Wait till summer and you won't notice it anymore.

okay guys i had this problem looked at when i went for my 30,000km service. they just lubricated the steering wheel and it was gone ! thats all. no power steering fluid or anything.

- squeeky clutch
- clutch bearings
- 2nd gear does not go in at high revs

How hard are you trying to get it into 2nd ig3o? Usually I have to use a bit of force.

Come on guys...dont do this to me! I have 2 land rover V8s - one 280,000 the other 150,000 and I not many dramas at all...and all original drive train! I just bought a new (on the ship) auto Euro...I know forums tend to attract both enthuasists and people with problems so surely so JD Power thingos in the US are still right...aren't they?!!!!

Cheers
