My Dad is a driving instructor, so lots are being changed. In his first 1.2 16v they were changed at 16k, then the car was given to me and were changed again at 22k. In his 1.7 Dti Sxi they were changed at 25k but didn't need it really there was loads left on the pads. But the disc was starting to show more wear than the pads.

On my Red one its done nearly 8k and there's plenty of Pad left.
We always change our own pads, they're a piece of piss on the Corsa C if you have the equipment.

About 17k for the pads. They were down to less than 5%!!!!
Got greenstuff now. Despite what people say I did notice an improvement in braking and also about 4 times less brake dust!!!
