Resource Highlights

In this article you will find out about our 1st-to-market brake pads for the new Land Rover Defender 110. Even quicker than the VM.

At Delphi we pride ourselves on being first-to-market on braking. The Audi Q8, Ford Fiesta ST and Focus and Toyota Supra all being great examples. But sometimes, we exceed even our own high expectations…by not only being first-to-market…but also quicker than the vehicle manufacturer too. And that’s the case with our brake pads for the brand-new Land Rover Defender 110.

Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019, the latest addition to the Land Rover line-up is currently available for pre-order only, with the first deliveries not expected until Spring 2020. So, you might well ask how we already have both the front and rear brake pads - part numbers LP2187 and LP2508 – in our range, even before you can buy them from your local Land Rover dealer?

Well don’t worry, we’re not sitting here gazing into a crystal ball. As a provider of pioneering propulsion technology to the world’s leading automakers, we know exactly what’s coming and when - often years before the very latest vehicles hit the street. With this unique insight, we can make sure we have the right, proven quality parts ready to go. So when the 2020 Land Rover Defender enters your doors, you can be just as quick off the mark.

Brake Pads

Responsible for stopping vehicles quicker than ever before, brake pads are one of the most important components in the braking system. And is why there’s no compromise when it comes to choosing one. As a leading Tier-1 OE manufacturer, our brake pads are designed, manufactured and tested to the meet the same standards of performance as the OE. We call it Delphi “Five Layers of Quality”… and we build these into every one of our brake pads. But don’t just take our word for it – recent tests have proven that our pads stop quicker, brake quieter and last longer too.

delphi-master-slave-wheel-cylinders

Braking Maintenance Solutions

Master, Slave & Wheel Cylinders

Simply put, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure that is transmitted via the brake fluid to either the wheel cylinder, in drum brakes, or the brake caliper, in disc brakes. These cylinders then exert mechanical pressure on the shoes or pads, and ultimately stop the vehicle. Checking these parts regularly and fitting only OE quality parts is therefore vital - anything less could compromise the vehicle’s braking performance and safety. With iron and aluminum castings, anodized coatings and OE spec seals and dust plugs, Delphi offers a full range of master, slave and wheel cylinders for reliable and long-lasting performance.

Braking Caliper slider kits

Delphi Caliper Slider Kits

Whilst it’s unlikely you’ll ever need to replace the entire caliper, they can seize over time. When this happens, the caliper will not be able to fully retract the brake pad from the disc, creating friction even when the brakes are not applied. This can cause many problems including brake drag, brake overheat and hot spots on the brake discs, so it goes without saying that you’ll want to look after them. With a little bit of TLC you can help ensure the caliper lasts the life of the vehicle, as well as prevent potentially irreparable damage to both the pads and discs. Cue Delphi’s caliper slider kits. Available for both right and left calipers, each kit includes new sliders, seals, slider lubricating grease and mounting bolts… everything you need for a professional and efficient caliper service.

copper_free_pad_02

Copper-free brake pads

From January 2025, US legislation will dictate that brake pads must contain no more than 0.5% copper, whilst still meeting the same rigorous safety standards. Just like vehicles fitted with Delphi brakes, we have stopped sooner.

Braking

The addition of electronic controls has made braking systems much safer and smarter. It’s no longer a matter of just stopping quickly. Nowadays how you stop, and even anticipating the need to stop, is just as important. That’s why our extensive braking line-up has been designed, engineered and manufactured to mirror the OE. So, not only do we stop just as quick as the OE, sometimes even quicker, we do it in complete control too. With the backing of expert diagnostics, training and technical support, you can count on Delphi to meet all your braking needs.

delphi-brake-abs-sensor

Braking Maintenance Solutions

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Sensors

Technology such as anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability are now common place thanks to the ABS sensor or wheel speed sensor. A small device, it has a big role to play; monitoring the wheel’s speed and rotation to prevent the brakes from locking. So, it’s important to always fit an OE quality part - anything less could compromise the effectiveness of these safety critical systems. Featuring weather pack connectors and plated pins, and rigorously tested to OE standards, Delphi ABS sensors deliver optimum signal stability and reliability in all conditions, for an accurate, long-lasting sensor that you can fit with confidence.

delphi-brake-drum

Braking Maintenance Solutions

Brake Drums

The lesser known cousin to the brake disc, brake drums work on the same principles as their front wheel equivalent. And although they’re subject to less braking force – over two-thirds occurs at the front – brake drums contribution to the vehicle’s safety should never be underestimated. In fact, rear brakes are essential for the stability and control of the vehicle, the functionality of the handbrake, and of course, stopping power. That’s why every drum brake we make is engineered to exacting OE standards for exceptional braking performance time and time again.

Parts braking brake fluid

Braking Maintenance Solutions

Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is one of the most important parts of the braking system, yet it is often overlooked. Also known as hydraulic fluid, it transfers the force created when you press the brake pedal, through the system, and onto the wheel hub. Ultimately stopping the vehicle. Without it, you simply wouldn’t be able to do so. Since there’s never a good time for this to happen, choosing a high-performance fluid, formulated for the application, such as Delphi, is a must.

Delphi Coated Brake Discs

Spring showers, humid summers, and cold, wet and icy winters – they can all take their toll on your vehicle. Factors such as rain, snow, salt and other road sprays can result in corrosion. That means, exposed parts, such as brake discs can quickly become rusty - not a good look when you want to show off your shiny alloy wheels. One way to help prevent this is by fitting Delphi coated discs.

Five Layers of Quality in Every Delphi Brake Pad

Brake pads are one of the most important parts of any braking system, contributing to over 70 percent of the overall stopping power, so you’ll want to fit a quality brand that’s up to the job. As a leading Tier-1 OE manufacturer, every part of our brake pad is designed, manufactured and tested to the meet the same standards of performance, consistency and longevity as the OE. From the back plate to the friction surface and everything in between. We call it Delphi “Five Layers of Quality.”

delphi-brake-hose

Braking Maintenance Solutions

Brake Hoses

Responsible for transmitting the hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, the brake hose effectively turns pedal action into stopping power. Fitting anything less than an OE quality part, could result in reduced stopping power, or worse still, complete brake failure. That’s why we build 90 years of hydraulic braking expertise into every hose we make. Featuring a multi-layer construction and robust connections, Delphi brake hoses deliver outstanding strength, flexibility and durability, just like the OE.

delphi-brake-disc

Braking Maintenance Solutions

Brake Discs

The mechanical and thermal stresses acting on the brake disc are extremely high. So it’s important they’re up to the job, and perform just as intended. Like all of our braking products, our discs are made to mirror the OE. So whatever the technology, you can be assured that every Delphi disc has been designed, engineered and manufactured to provide the very best braking performance. Just like the OE. Be it coated, cross drilled or high-carbon…it’s a given.
