Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Yes PowerBrake dics are magic. Great stopping power and smoothness. To me the only way to go. I have paid R2872 all incl. for the two front discs and a set of front pads. This is cheaper than what you can get the OE discs for. Bought rear pads from Mitsu dealers for R800 or thereabout. DIY Installation really not difficult. Alternatively take the new spares to a general workshop where you should not pay more than about two hours of labour at about R500.

What is a reasonable life in km to get from the following, assuming normal use and limited offroad with no towing:

1. Front brake pads
2. Front brake discs
3. Rear brake pads
4. Rear brake drums-in-discs

I noticed in the service history of the Pajero LWB i have just bought that they replaced brakes at every 20,000km service interval, this sounds excessive?

Ordered the front set and they arrived today. Now to have them fitrted, The rear brakes are also availble from this month, so I may consider doing them too.

Hi Kennekam - are you saying Powerbrake are introducing rear rotors for Pajero?

Yes, they are now available....more or less the same price as the front ones...

But only for CK / gen 3... Only front pads for gen 4 at this stage

Front discs coming maybe early next year.

I was in a bit of a tight spot and had to have my vehicles brakes sorted cause we had run out of time. Replace front and back discs and pads and replace hand brake shoes - just over R6000.00

Edit : At the local stealers.

+1 for powerbrake, braking is massively improved!

Sitting in a coffee shop in Diep Rivier waiting for my Power Brakes to be fitted. Will take about hour and a half they say...... Been an hour. Had breakfast, now on second cup of coffee......

Must be good coffee
