The front discs and pads on the lads 54 plate corsa need replacing right now :(
Just seen these on the euro parts website
Product Code: 104720119
Any good ?
-
They're deemed to be a bit of a shite brand but I've put them on wifeys corsa with no issue. Plus they're cheap as chips.

Yup :y
Can't go wrong at 42 sheckles for 2 front discs and a front pad set :y
As the saying goes ............... Dirty deeds done dirt cheap ;D ;D
-
Let me know how you get on with them.
Need some front discs on our Corsa.
-
Wait till Friday, bet there's a discount code. Be even cheaper.

Shop around, I got a set of Mintex discs and pads (which are considerably larger than Corsa ones) for the Zaf for 60 notes delivered

Really good seller and been using him a lot recently :y
And the Mintex stuff at the moment appears to be very good quality, yes its 8 quid more but without the risk!

Too late Mark sadly ::)
Mini Me ordered and paid for them off his own back last night using the promo code off here.
I didn't know until I got a text off him this morning asking me to dig out the tools for when he gets home from work ::)
Apparently, HE is going to supervise ME doing the job ;D ;D ;D
Good to see Mintex seem to have sorted out the quality control though, I stopped using them a few years ago after a front pad split under hard braking on a mates car while I was playing :-X

Just fitted TRW discs and pads all round on the 190. Very very impressed with the feel so far. And the discs are painted a sexy black :y

Well the dirty deed was done last night.
Left the lad to put the wheels back on and drop it off the jack / stands while I went and washed my hands ready for the test drive.
Jumped in and off I went at a increasingly rapid pace so as to get a feel for them and listen for any knocks and rattles :-\
After a couple of miles down the road, I chucked it around a roundabout and started to make my way home.
Then the knocking starts ..............
Touch the brake, it knocks
Hit the brake, it clunks and this time I feel it through the steering wheel ...........
Carefully pull over (in front of a lycraist who spat his dummy out because I stopped in HIS cycle lane (self-abuser sign) made by my good self :-X ;)
Gave the front wheels a kick to find both are friggin loose :o >:( >:(
After 5 minutes to calm down, I slowly rang Mini Me and politely asked him if he had tightened the bolts up as I had shown him break knows how many times over the past few years ::)
Well apparently, he has never been shown before :-X :-X :-X
On advise of my good self, I requested that he made the journey to me complete with strong arm and 17mm impact socket and TIGHTEN THE oppsING BOLTS UP which he did without complaint for a change ::)
He hasn't spoke to me since ................ ;)
-
He hasn't spoken to you because you pointed out he was wrong, the you'ff of today are never wrong. ::),and hate being told, how to do the job properly :o
-
I heard that the youth of today are now referred to as Generation Snowflake because of how easily offended they are.. ;D
Although knowing you lot your "youth of today" are people my age :P ;D

Tell me about it ::) ;D
Must say, his pet lip was trembling last night when he was torqueing the bolts up ::)
Kin ell, what does he expect ::)
A peck on the cheek, a sympathy card and box of Cadburys Roses because I shouted at him in public ;D
Hey, when I was a lad ....................... :D
