i binned my standard brakes, its not that the pads are crap, its the fact that the brakes fade cos they have solid discs. at the moment ive got some from 1.4 16v models, they are the same diameter but are vented discs, a million times better. oh i think m2rv_h is selling some with reddot discs for 30 quid, calipers included etc... | |

okey doke. me not noeing much about cars, is it possible to buy better pads that will give better braking perfromance than standard. im sure i saw TD owners saying that standard brakes are boolx and i almost discovered this the other day by getting very close to the arse end of a porsche :! | |

its easy to do, you have too change all four, ie both on both sides or you get uneven brakeing. | |

hmm, might be that. but i wudnty immediatly think of that cos i was told the car had a service + MOT before i baught it in march :s if i take the wheel off will i be able to tell if my pad is worn down that much. can i replace the pad myself? easily?? if one pad is replaced does the other one need changing aswell? | |

where is the sound coming from? coz i had a scraping noise from the front wheels, it turned out my brakepads had worn down to the metal clip which scrapes on the brake disc to tell u ur brake pads need changing. | |
