brake pads and discs

[Seagull-russ]

hey guys

noticed a metallic squealing sound coming from the rear brakes when applied and when turning left, had a look and the drivers rear disc is scored, attached some pics, is it likely new disc is needed? I was aware pads were low and a service was planned for may. passenger disc is fine.

has anyone tried milners discs/pads? or I did see on ebay some mintex ones, or europarts had eicher branded ones.

what do you guys think?

cheers

sorry for super large pics, not sure how downsize them just yet.

Hard to tell how bad it is from pictures. Certainly covers quite a large area. I'd be erring on the replace side. Roughtrax do genuine rear disks and pads at 150 quid a set. They'll be as good as anything.

Looks like the pad has worn down to the metal marking the disc.
I would be putting a new set of discs and pads accross the axle if it were mine, try Toyota for a price they are not as expensive as you may think and in my opinion its worth a bit extra to get OEM quality.

I know Toyota had a special on a while back. IIRC it was 80 for a set with disks? Seems a bit cheap? Nonetheless, give Simon a call :http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/43602-Genuine-Toyota-parts-suppliers
