...
can you buy new sensors seperately?  ....

ALL pads come with separate sensors.

no they don't - I have purchased pads without sensors, hence wondering if you can get the sensors as a seperate purchase (unless thats what you meant) :y

 :-?  :-?   :-?  :-?  :-?
I'll say it a different way then ......
pads are pads
sensors are sensors
they are both bought separately
Some car manufacturers make pads that have sensors embedded into their pads, Vauxhall don't

I'll get down my friendly dealer and get some - see if that resolves my Check message

the trouble with the sensors is that they tend to go open circuit/wera through early ie when there's still loads of pad life left. This is cos the unworn lip at the very edge of the disc will start to cut/wear through the sensor before the main braking area of the disc does.

I like to change my pads before sensors highlight it - once worn below half, they seem to badly lose ability to lose heat. I work in Milton Keynes ;)


Still have to replace sensors though, records always break

Thanks for info. I was pointing a finger at pads first off as  when I bought the car it was 'don't worry about that message there is loads of pad left' - mm never to be trusted that statement  - but to be fair there is loads of pad left. Sensor wasn't quite clipped in properly on the side I checked - and thought I have sorted it.. but on clipping back in I still have the message - checked both sides.
Asked about if they are seperate as by then, pre-emptively I have already bought some pads and thought oh - no sensors! First car I have had where they didn't at least come in the box with a new set of pads (used to Audi)

That it does, but its auto correction can be a pig. I'm often in Covent Garden in London, but it keeps auto correcting Covent to Coventry!
