2024 Land Rover Defender — new pads squeal at parking-lot speeds

EVCommuterCommunity StarterMar 24, 20262024 Land Rover Defender 110 P400Florida

2024 Land Rover Defender 110 P400, about 36,000 miles. Pads and rotors were replaced recently and stopping performance is good, but there is low-speed squeal. Hardware was cleaned and lubricated. How long would you give bedding before inspecting again?

Ask what changed right before it started. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 Land Rover Defender is losing coolant with no puddle. Save the big job until that test fails. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Not interested in a five-hour wait for a shrug.
