Land Rover Brake Pad Retaining Clip - Genuine Rover LR019625

Product Information

A disc brake pad retaining clip (also known as a brake pad retaining spring or anti-rattle clip) is a small metal component that helps secure the brake pads in place within the brake caliper assembly. The clip holds the brake pads tightly against the caliper bracket, preventing them from moving around or rattling. In addition to reducing brake noise, the clip also helps ensure even pad wear and consistent brake performance.

• Rattling or Clicking Noises: If the retaining clip is damaged or missing, you may hear rattling, clicking, or clunking noises from the brakes, especially when going over bumps or during low-speed driving. This is often due to the brake pads shifting within the caliper
• Uneven or Premature Brake Pad Wear: Without a functioning clip, the brake pads may not stay properly aligned with the rotor, causing uneven or accelerated wear on the pads, which can reduce braking efficiency and require more frequent pad replacement

About Genuine Land Rover

The same parts Land Rover used to build your vehicle are sold as replacement parts under the “Genuine Land Rover” brand. These are manufactured under Land Rover’s direction, guaranteeing top quality. As you’d expect, they also carry a premium price and are sold exclusively through the Land Rover dealership network.

Genuine Land Rover parts trace their origins back to the earliest days of the brand in 1948, when Rover engineers built the first Series I using robust, serviceable components designed for durability in harsh environments. Over the decades, Land Rover established partnerships with leading European suppliers to ensure consistent quality and performance. This tradition continues today, with Genuine Land Rover parts representing the official replacement components engineered to the same specifications as those used on the production line.

What many owners don’t realize is that Land Rover doesn’t manufacture most of these parts themselves. Instead, they design the components, contract trusted suppliers to produce them, and then verify the quality. Many of these suppliers have partnered with Land Rover for decades. In the industry, they’re known as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)—brands you probably recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. It’s not unusual to open a Genuine Land Rover box and find one of these brands inside—just re-badged with a Land Rover logo.

On our site, look for OE tags on product pages to quickly spot parts that come straight from the original manufacturers. Choosing these can save you a significant amount compared to buying them in Genuine packaging. For more details on how to identify OE and OEM parts, check out our OE Academy.
