Parts are cheap, less than €100 for non genuine parts per axle and labour shouldn't be that expensive. Don't go near a dealer, any competent mechanic should be able to do the job.

Is the reason for rust lack of use and is it worse on the rear? If so and there's no grinding noises I wouldn't panic too much but get it looked at ASAP. Since they banned asbestos in brake pads years back, discs don't last anywhere near as long and rust quicker.

TBH, if you can run a full fat RR you shouldn't be skimping on braking 2.5t of Solihull's finest

I would love to see were you can buy any kind of reasonable quality disks and pads for 100 for a fullfat range rover

Bit more when you add VAT I suppose but delivery is only £10. Even with EBC pads it's still cheap.

mintex disc £40 plus vat each plus pads at 42 plus vat so comes to 145pounds sterling plus delivery looks pretty close to 200euro to me

Anecdotely, a dealer would have charged around €2k for front and rear discs n pads, get materials on line and local mechanic and the total cost is closer to €500 or €600.
