One of those days between Christmas and New year where you can't eat any more or watch any more telly so to work!
Set about doing the brakes, and straight away hit a problem of wrong front pads! Checked ECP website and rang the local branch, the pads they had that matched the picture of my existing pads was a set that also had a wear sensor cable, I asked him to order me a set and will bring one of the old pads in to cross reference. This happened to me on a 2001 HDi 2 door a few years ago, I think I just cut the sensor off as there was nowhere to plug it in!
Anyway got the rears done in record time, nothing went wrong or was seized or broken which is what normally happens!
Also think I need to invest in some new tyres! Torn between getting decent quality tyres and budgets, the car only did 1000 miles last year and rarely gets out in the rain!
Thanks Matt (Frosty) who pointed out on Instagram that I need to change the brake pad clips to the top of the pad! There were no clips on the old pads so no point of reference!
Happy "not knowing what day it is between Christmas and New year" everyone!![[Image: b23bd5c24c99223a52f08cc8d0e155c3.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191228/b23bd5c24c99223a52f08cc8d0e155c3.jpg)
