Hi all, i attempted to change front pads today, but i noticed a cable running into the top of the inner pad (i assume it was the wear sensor) and couldnt get it out of the hole. After much brute force, i abandoned ship as i couldnt get the little rascal out.
Do i need to buy two new ones and connnect them to the "plug" which clips to the inside of the wheel arch? (I followed the lead and saw a black tubular connector half way up the arch)
If i do need to buy them, any ideas how much they'll set me back?

You only need the one for a 2.2......mine was about £6-7 but that was on TC.....not sure of retail price sorry :(
-
Should add, always worth getting one.....as your about to find out....it will snap off fairly easily.

I only need one? Would that be the one on the front nearside then?......... The one that crumbled like icing on a dry cake?!!?!? ::)

I just paid £20 for two on my mini facelift 3.0 :'(

2 up to around 2001, 1 on later cars.
Same part for all cars, with exception on early 2.0l...

Mines a 99 V6 mini facelift last time I changed Discs and pads about 6 months ago sensors cost about £13 for 2 but they offered me a choice of 2 types .I think ceramic bit was different shape and colour also connector different shape. These were purchased from Southern Motor Factors and if I remember from previous time from Vauxhall worked out about 1/2 price.

I think you can buy them for about £4 each from Motaquip if that helps, it may be worth asking before spending Vx money.

Where from? I bought a couple recently for my Omega, & although I can't remember off the top of my head how much .... they weren't £20!

£20 ish is about right for a pair from Vx at retail prices....

Saving is about £3.50 per side on TC

I seem to remember getting a pair from Halfrauds for just over a tenner - not bad I thought. Had to order them though.
This is one of those classic Haynes 'unclip the wear sensor (with the back of your fingernail...)' type jobs that turn out to be minor b@stards. and I never did really figure out how to install the new one with the caliper fully assembled - seem to remember having to feed the sensor in with the caliper partly off if that makes sense.
