Title: Brake pads and air filters
Post by: grain.ben on 15 April 2012, 21:02:33

Hi guys, does anyone know off the top of your heads, the part number for the front brake pads on a 2.2? Calipers are Lucas and i already have the pad warning cable to go with the new pads.

Also, has anyone ever used a K&N replacement filter http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/product.aspx?Prod=33-2734 , product code 33-2734, and if so are they any good? worth buying?, or just sticking with the original GM's?

I'd stick to standard air filters. It's plenty large enough (especially for a 2.2. The same filter isn't restrictive on a 3.2).

K&N filters need regular oiling to keep the dust out, and the oil can contaminate the MAF sensor.
