Having this problem on my 120, fitted DBA T2 4x4 Series Rotors & Bendix 4x4 pads, gets really hot, took out Shims as advised by gxl_d4d but same problem. Did a full flush with Penrite dot3 brake fluid. I'm beginning to think it's the Bendix padsD4D 09 OME Suspension/ARB Winchbar/Safari Snorkel/IPF Spotties/Cooper ST Maxx Tyres/9000LB Tigerz11 Winch with Dynema Rope/GME Remote head UHF/Sheepskin Seat Covers.....Next on list Dual Battery Sys...In Dash GPS...Rear Diff Lock

Hi ####,
Hand not the prob, not much meat left on them, both front & back getting hot, was like it on the snow trip, thought maybe they need bedding in, but still warm now after a few weeks of being fitted??D4D 09 OME Suspension/ARB Winchbar/Safari Snorkel/IPF Spotties/Cooper ST Maxx Tyres/9000LB Tigerz11 Winch with Dynema Rope/GME Remote head UHF/Sheepskin Seat Covers.....Next on list Dual Battery Sys...In Dash GPS...Rear Diff Lock

I've just installed new rear rotors and pads on my 120 Prado and have the same overheating problem. I used RDA rotors and QFM 4wd pads. With both back wheels up in the air and hand brake off I can spin both wheels so I don't believe it's the hand brake dragging.
It could be the pads bedding into a machined rotor generating more heat due to the machine marks. I'll give a week and see. I'm a bit worried about the heat damaging rear axle bearings and seals.
The new pads grip much better than genuine pads. Before the car felt like it didn't have any rear brakes at all.2019 GXL, Bullbar, UHF, Redarc Brake Controller, Tow Bar, Secondary Fuel Filter

Don't worry about it. Brand new pads stop your car much more efficiently and therefor create more heat in doing so.... Initially. In no time at all they'll go back to normal temps. Part of the correct bedding in process is to brake but not come to a complete stop for the first few innitial braking attempts because they get bloody hot early on. Don't be concerned because it's perfectly normal. The higher performance the brake pad, the more heat they produce, until they wear a bit.
The heat won't damage bearings and seals. They can put up with much worse.
It's a case of most people don't notice the innitial temp increase and some do.Last edited by Brett1979; 06-01-2017, 10:50 PM.2005 120 series V6 Grande, 2 inch susp lift (King/EFS combo), 32 inch MT’s, Safari Snorkel, rear diff lock, breathers, Light Force spotlights, UHF, dual batteries.

Excellent news
Now you can pass on this piece of knowledge to others when the question is asked again one day.
When changing the brakes and or rotors in the future, just remember to allocate a little bit of time afterwards to the bedding in process. It's good practice and all work performed on a vehicle is a followed procedure. A little bit of bedding in is part of the procedure of replacing brakes. Take it easy on them early on for a couple of weeks and braking softly well in advance during the break in period will stop them from cooking.
And thankyou for your previous compliment ####. Although I should be complimenting you. I've read many threads on here to learn and to provide feedback where I can to try and help others and the invaluable information you've provided in many of them of absolutely 1st class. Well done to you and keep up the great work. Your level of knowledge is incredible and the free advice you provide others is extremely helpful and kind. You're not "The Roo" using a different alias are you? Haha
I visited him once and he helped me out with a couple of things with my car a few years ago and taught me a few pointers and techniques along the way. Geez he was a wealth of knowledge. He was a very interesting man who lived a very interesting life, but sadly he's disappeared from this forum and all his posts have been removed also. Wonder why? It is a mystery.Last edited by Brett1979; 07-01-2017, 08:46 PM.2005 120 series V6 Grande, 2 inch susp lift (King/EFS combo), 32 inch MT’s, Safari Snorkel, rear diff lock, breathers, Light Force spotlights, UHF, dual batteries.

Yes that's what we Do, were here to help each other.
Your quite correct, roo did / does do a lot of helping, especially the beginnings of education about injectors / washers & egr.
Here's another fact, he actually asked me to get into it more, as he saw my work & knowledge.
Eventually I realised how big the problem of the Injector related issues are, I then decided to knock back other vehicles so I could specialise & become the best at 1kd injector issues & longevity resolutions.
So although he has gone & much of the helpfull info, I can help with some of it, even more so, anything to do with injectors.
Myself & roo do keep in touch as we do very similar work. So we help each other out.
As he probably said, I will also, we can't take the knowledge with us, happy to educate & share.
Cheers!
