The Pajero's rear brakes became noisy in the week so I bought new disk pads from the local spare shop yesterday. When I wanted to fit them yesterday afternoon, I noticed they were totally wrong - just my luck! The shop was already closed, so I had to go back this morning - with the old ones as samples. Nothing in the book under Pajero looked closely like the samples. Next shop the same and also the third. I thought I would try one more time before I give up and went to our local Midas. Young black lady behind the counter looked at me funny when she opened her Ferrodo book and I told her it was not is there! Making sure I was not confused - duh... - She asked the model again and again told her that it is a 2007 3.2 DId LWB - Gen4 - to be specific. She checked again and nothing. She then started to page though the book - from the back - comparing everything that just slightly resembles the sample I gave her. I sort of appreciated her effort but thought it was a waist of time and was just about ready to politely thank her and leave when she found the correct shape and size.
Of course I immediately wanted to know why neither she or the chaps at the other stores could find it, she replied with a smile - “ because its under TOYOTA – it for the LC 4.2 and some Lexus. I was too shock to say anything – except to thank her for her great effort. At least – the Pajero is going again!
I now would like to know – is this right or did the previous owner change it? Anybody else had this?
Vossie,

PS It is not uncommon to have different brands use identical disk pads.

Hi 4E,
The Ferodo part number is FDB 1021 and is for the LC 4.0 and 4.2, 1990 onwards and for the Lexus LX 450 from 1996 onwards.
I would propably have to go through the same exercise with the front ones soon. Will let know what the outcome is.

Good tip:
If ever you take out your disk pads, make photocopies of them.
It then becomes easy to find similar / identical replacement pads.
