Discovery Sport Rear Disc Corrosion

I think there's another aspect to this saga.  I've just had to have new discs and pads on the front of my 2015 Touareg - at 35k miles, which is well before I normally have to have even the pads changed.  It turns out that the front brake calipers had stuck, the inside pads had not been operating properly and the inside of the discs had started to corrode.

Until this year, the car had been on a main-dealer service plan ('free' when I bought the car).  This year, it went to my tried and trusted local garage (Bosch service centre), to whom it was immediately apparent that the brakes had never been touched during the past three services - indeed the wheels had probably never been off.

I have never been a fan of the service provided by main dealers and this evidence just tends to confirm that most do the absolute minimum they can get away with.

They don't call them 'stealer's for nothing ...  

(that applies to all flavours of dealer)

Just had my Jeep serviced at Arnold Clark and at least they send you a video clip of the car up in air with wheels off and show the discs and pads close-up to show you the wear and condition. If only all dealers did this, even caravan dealers during service.

I have my Jaguar XK8 serviced at Guy Salmon in Maidstone and they do this

If the OP gets it serviced at the dealers which seems the case, then he also should get a video with wheels off and zoomed in video of each wheel disc and pad.

A video of your car on the service ramp is pretty common these days. Even Citroen do if when SWMBOs C3 goes in.

Yes there is an issue with the Discovery Sport rear brakes, I have a low mileage 18 plate with deeply pitted rear disc’s, the vehicle is on a JLR service plan it went into the local dealer in September 19 for Adblue I raised the issue then, but was advised to leave them until it’s first service following this and due to the lock down I was unable to take the car into the dealership, it finally went in 2nd June 2020 for its first service they referred me to the JLR technical warranty team who said there was no problem just ware and tear, these are pitted not wear and tear, I have wrote to the CEO of JLR his PA rang me that day Tuesday 30 June, and following a warranty meeting she rang back a couple of days later saying they can’t do any warranty or good will on a low mileage 40K vehicle even though JLR have issued a bulletin LBT00990V2 which I understand could have been an instruction to dealers to replace under warranty. I am really disappointed with the replies from JLR were planed to replaced the Discovery and my wife’s Volvo early 2021 With a New Defender and an Evoque or Discovery Sport following this I don’t really want to go that way, it might be another Volvo and perhaps an Ineos as they might be available late 2021. I still have my Defender 90 a proper Landrover, interestingly  the dealership emailed today with a special day offering several K off new cars, Why would I want to buy one now!

I have a Korean car and have never had discs or pads replaced but then I usually sell them at about 60k miles. 

I adore LR products, the new Defender is stunning, alas I will never own one, I have enough hobbies.
