Sorry guys, but I'm back on topic!
Just wondering .... the time will come when your LR dealer advises 'you need new discs, sir'.
It would be interesting to get a price for direct replacement, and then a price using the larger discs?
After all they're spending the same labour time [well almost] so it should just be the difference in the discs and the cost of the anchor brackets?
Also, there wouldn't be any warranty issues, would there ..???
hmmm I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Pelyma, as far as I remember it was a RRS, though they should work fine with a D3 too.
For those wondering about the difference in price, here are the retail prices of TDV6 discs for comparison with the prices I posted above:
TDV6 front disc: SDB000636 - €37.82+VAT
TDV6 rear disc: SDB000636 - €51.42+VATIE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver
SA - 07 VW Golf TDI - White - Sold!
I know it's different than what your talking of but i supplied a Brembo upgrade for a RRS a little while ago, same things discs, calipers, mount plates and discs...all direct replacement.

Having done some further invstigation around this it seems that it would not be such a simple upgrade process, certainly WRT to adding Brembo's.
ECU's would need to be 'updated' to cater for the change in braking configuration, amongst other things.
