Warped Discs on new Range Rover Sport SDV8 Sport
Discussion
I wondering if anyone out there has had any issues with the brakes on their SDV8 Range Rover Sport MY14 Autobiography Dynamic my car is fully loaded i waited like many others 7 months for delivery i now have 20000 mls on the clock.
i am on my 5th set of discs its spent 4 weeks in the workshop in all. the discs all warp after about 3000miles on the motorway. LR have changed the bearings and hubs aswell as the discs twice saying the wheels must have been overtightened, rubbish i have never touched them, still on original tyres they last incredibly well in fact.
The discs were changed first time then rectified on the car second time, they ran out again so were changed again, with hubs and bearings on the 3rd attempt.
Then came the news from LR early discs on SDV8 were poor quality so they admitted a problem the hubs were not strong enough apparently prone to over tightening wheels !!!! they fitted all new discs pads hubs bearings tightened correctly again at15000mls
So after 5th intervention all good then after 3000mls at 18000mls again they warp LR say its not them they have no idea no solution must be my driving i have somevery fast other cars RS6 C7 SL6.3 this car is not driven fast its only used on long runs. its under warranty and i am stuck with a car that vibrates like mad under braking that cost nearly £100K including £15 options. The sound system is good when the cars parked it looks cool music sounds nice !!. its not my first Range rover its Number 8 and the worst one yet its a P38 4.6 HSE my 3 previous L322's were much better just blowing the odd turbo. Ford would have fixed it. This is very annoying its not a bad car but i cant see myself buying RR no9 i cannot believe LR attitude and also that i am the only person with warped Brake discs on this car. Has anyone else had issues

the discs are simply not upto the job and poorly cooled , no they are not floating as they should be LR doing it on the cheap shoddy build last one for me 25K less will buy me a Landdcruiser V8 diesel fully loaded stronger residuals and brakes that work my not look as cool but who cares it will work
