Caliper Bolt Torque Settings ?

Hi,
Am sure this will have been covered somewhere but cant seem to find a definitive answer so guidence requested....
Am about to change Front Discs and Pads on my 2012 Discovery 4 using standard Discs and pads
1) Can anyone tell me the correct Torques settings for the Caliper Bracket Bolts and the Caliper bolts ?
(Have seen 115 Nm / 180 Nm / and even 275 Nm quoted for the Bracket Bolts)
2) Are Caliper Bolts 35 Nm on front and 44 Nm on back (I'm just changing pads on the back) - again can someone confirm ?
Finally would you recommend using Loctite on the bracket bolts ?
Cheers
Jon

Hi Kilovolt,
That is a brilliant link - just the info I need so many thanks much appreciated !
Still find it hard to believe the 275 Nm as I would have though that was likely to shear the bolt but if thats what the man says then thats where we will go.
Bow down
