1994 Land Rover Defender 90 Brake Service & Repair

It’s best to get a brake check before your Land Rover Defender 90 shows signs of brake troubles.

If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

You know your Land Rover Defender 90 like the back of your hand. And you don't have to wait for something to go wrong. Stay ahead of problems with a free brake check. In general, manufacturers like Land Rover advise that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That also includes checking the e-brake.

How often do 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Defender 90. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Land Rover Defender 90 brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Land Rover's standards.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Land Rover  Defender 90. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 brake repairs.
