Title: Is there only one Brake pad sensor on front ?
Post by: DrAndyB on 08 September 2016, 22:48:34

Hi all,

Popped a nice new set of front brake pads on my dad's Desmond (2.2 Y plate Petrol Auto FL Saloon !) today whilst he was in Hospital having an operation.  Calliper off, sliders checked and greased, calliper holders off and cleaned !, Piston checked, and pads and calliper/holder filed and copper creased in right places  :y

Pads not that worn but replaced anyhow, and discs in fine fettle, however I noticed that oddly he only had one brake pad wear sensor  :o ? Fitted on passenger side  ??? But not one to be found on drivers and no sign of the plug where it should be ! ( As I removed BOTH of my sensors on my V6 MFL) so know where they should be  ( or at least where they are on the MFL  model  :D )

Did they only bother to fit one to the FL models ?  No obvious wiring butchery on his car but I could inspect closer tomorrow !  Got his rocker cover gasket to do if it's not pi55ing down tomorrow, which I am strangely looking forward to  ;D

Thanks in advance.

Andy.

My 2001 FL 3.2 only has one ... the 1999 MFL 2.5 had two .....  :)

Thanks for that.  Guess it saved £20 only having 1 !, But then again it's 1 more than on my 2.5 MFL as I removed them  ;D

If you want to save some pence, just chop the wire, twist the bare wire ends together, and a bit of tape over it to seal. Also, you can get the wires for under a fiver on the heebay. Just make sure it's not for early Omega 2.0, or 'Omega A' (Carlton)  :)
