Title: My Pagid discs and pads have arrived.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 10 October 2014, 15:28:13
£88.38 and according to the box made in Germany.

They seem quite substantial.

I have just noticed that the box for the pads states Omega 94-01. :-\

Mine is 2003. Did they change the pads in 2001?

Pads also fit Lotus Carlton 89-92.......apparently. :y

My MV6 has vented rear discs, Henry. I had to reuse the old pins because the ones they supplied were too short (for solid discs)

I can't argue with that, Mr Bear. :y

Rear discs and pads are far less expensive than the fronts though. ;)

Secure is a bit grand, they hold the disk in place when the wheels are removed. They should only be finger tight (4Nm sounds familiar)

I don't think so, Mr Emd.

The bolts I have don't look like they will fit a countersunk hole.

There doesn't appear to be the countersunk screws that hold the discs.

There won't be... :y bolts relate to the pad fitting kit. There are only two as you only need to remove one bolt to change the pads.

If I break the brake pad wear sensor, or, if it has already been snapped off by a previous mechanic/neanderthal.........do I need to replace it?

I'm really not bothered unless it is essential.  :y

No. Chop the white end off, bare back the two wire ends & twist them both together. Wrap up in insulation tape and then cable tie to the ABS wiring  ::)  ;) ;)

I could incriminate myself if I said I repaired SWMBO's Hyundai's ABS sensor the same way.

.......... I'd dig an even bigger hole if I said I'd used a long bar on the crank pulley bolt to undo the bolt but got the direction arse about face when I kicked the engine over on the starter ..... hence the need to repair the ABS sensor wire.   ::)  ::)  ::)

My soldering was actually fekkin spot on and, yeah, I didn't use heat shrink cos i didn't have any. I however taped EACH wire. THEN taped over both wires too. In the real world that repair wil be fine.

If the light comes back on then I'll admit you guys are right and I'm a prat and re solder it and use shrink tube.

But for now....  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

If the discs were in good condition I would tend to agree.

As they are fooked, but still working well, I want to get the most from them.
