New front brake pads
« on: 19 November 2012, 21:20:34 »

Put new front  pads in today When pumping pedal to spread the pads I found things that might have been there before but never noticed. with no engine running pedal hard and short movement. engine running more movement but felt a bit spongey. Is the extra movement due to servo, abs,or similar.  Engine not running ignition on gear in park a clicking sound from the gear change area ,Auto, when brake applied. Some kind of switch operating? Any comments however rude welcome.  How long to settle in new pads?

Park release switch operating. Perfectly normal when foot brake applied in Park.  :y

Hard pedal with engine off is due to no servo assist, again this is normal.  :y
