4.2 And 4.3 Front Brakes The Same?

[Bezzer]

I'll be replacing the front discs and pads on my 4.3 at the weekend having succumbed to the dreaded blake pulsing. Am I right in thinking it's exactly the same procedure as Anch's excellent 4.2 replacement write up in the tech section and there's nothing else to watch out for or do with a 4.3??

Brake Pulsing . . . . That's a new one on me . . . having owned a RAV for 48 hours :D . . . . I only ask as when I was test driving it I did remark about a 'vibration' from the discs to be told "It's been stood for a while its corrosion on the discs" . . . While it has appeared to improve over the last two days there is a distinct pulsing down the break pedal . . . If there is a known issue Mr T will have some work to do with it :(

Ooops

Plenty on it on the forum if you do a search, at least you'll be forearmed when you have to go back to the garage.

Here's one thread
