Hi all, I know it was mentioned a short time ago, but can't find the post

Need to check, but think my front brake pads are needing a change, what is the best but cheaper option please?

For 3.2 elite saloon.

TIA.

TC pads probably. £15, I think (going by what I've read here) TC pads on their own are ok but when they come as part of disc + pad set the squeal and have no feel. Mine, part of a disc/pad set started squealing after two weeks and are pants but my brake fluid needs changing.

If you're feeling flash, you can opt for OE pads @ £76

Cheers SMD,  just need to find someone local with TC and plead nicely to get me some

Dave give Jon a shout,  I think he has some sets spare / for sale? 

[blackviper90210]

Nice one Paul, I'll drop him a PM

I forgot to tell you that your passenger side reversing light was out mate

I'll also make a note to bring another rear light lense & battery bag for you too 

[PAULCDX]

Yeah drop him a PM as I know he did have some sets in his garage 

Thanks for letting me know mate 

Good to see you today and thanks for helping me out

Your welcome mate!   It was great meeting you and your better half.   I did mean to say thank you too for supplying me with the coffee that was much appreciated.

I enjoyed today..... meeting a new mate and getting the work down with no grief

[PAULCDX]

Likewise Dave and it was nice to meet you and your little Matthew also 

Look forward to next Sunday and hopefully I will start to fall in love with the car again 

Best wishes mate

How can you not love your mig, it looks good mate AND you've had all the engine sorted by a man who knows his stuff

We'll get the interior sorted and you'll be back on the road in no time

[PAULCDX]

Excellent mate 

Can't wait to be honest, I've missed her   

Did you send Jon a PM re brake pads?

I'm sure he has got some but I may be wrong 

[SMD]

Can't you get it from andyc?

[blackviper90210]

I did, he only has used mini facelift sets

Just have to hunt around.  When I left you I noticed that a low braking, it was starting to sound a little rough 

Oh well, just general maintenance

[PAULCDX]

Oh sorry to hear that mate 

My next idea was to give AndyC a shout as mentioned already mate, he may be able to do you a good deal on a set 

[blackviper90210]

Are Mintex pads any good?

[PAULCDX]

Yes mate I believe they are a good make but I'm somebody else will be able to clarify
