Thanks Nige :y :y

Is my memory serving me correctly that the pads in the set are poo and not worth using? Don't want to scrimp with a trip over the Alps coming up ::) Especially as it's just been WIM'd and is such fun to drive now ::) :y

OK... Next question... How much are the wear sensors? Need 2 as they've been shorted out for the entire time I've owned it but with new discs I may as well fit new ones :y

Thanks Serek, got QH pads and they're not too bad but wouldn't use them again with the TC price of genuine ones ;)

I've had no problems with the pads in the set .. but I don't rally or race !!! (do tow a fairly heavy 'van though .. and had no problems at all stopping !!  )

Brake lining wear sensors
All models 90495144 £10.40 £7.85

I seem to remember a thread discussing the TC pads v "normal" pads some time back, of course "normal" pad prices won't be on TC !!! 

A PM to andyc might be needed  :)

:)

I don't hang about but am also generally quite light on the brakes... Think it comes from HGV driving in old chuggers with very poor brakes ::) ::)

I also tow a pretty heavy van (as you know) so don't want to scrimp too much ;)

I'll drop andyc a pm or give him a call tomorrow as it's him I'll be ordering from anyway as he's only 50 miles away :y :y

I've got TC pads on mine and they aren't a patch on the (presumably OEM) ones  I had before. They squeal, and not a lot you can do to stop them IME. They create a lot of dust and, whilst general braking performance and feel is OK, I've had them fade on me a few times without a lot of provocation (one stop from naughty speeds with a loaded car will do it :-/).

I'd say you probably wouldn't do any worse with a set of QH/Mintex pads. I'd rate the current trade club ones as being no better. If they are a cheaper option I'd go for them otherwise, you probably won't do any worse.

Iirc, trade club disc and pad front axle set £80 odd on tc I think.
OE pads as fitted from the factory (original equipment) are £70 for front axle set, OE rear axle set £45 on trade club, listing is difficult to find though. Steep I know, but they offer a great deal more feel than the leathery trade club pads made of wood. OE still fade when pushed hard though.

Thing is with oe, it's cheeper to buy the disc pad set than discs on their own, so can flog the tc pads on perhaps?

IMO oe are well worth the money as I find tc pads poor, until the price is taken into account or course.

Ya pays ya money......

Interesting, I thought it was just in my mind that my new pads were creating a lot of dust. One issue I had when doing my discs, the Mintex pads (I think) wern't square at the edges. I could fit them in the caliper but they wouldn't move freely, ended up taking them back and getting the GM.

The TC pads do the job, but wear fast, and can easily glaze to the point of not working at all driving halfway across Milton Keynes.  But then the fluid normally goes after a couple of roundabouts more. Apparently ::)

red stuff can be problematic for road use, as they need warming before they become effective

Hmmm... The QH ones I have are still going after some 35-40k... But then I'm not hard on brakes as I've always used the engine for braking.

Think I'll go for TC discs and Pads as I doubt mine will see us through the drive to Italy and back, especially with the hills in the way ::) ::)
