I intend to change front and rear pads......rear pads are low....
I think the front are even lower ::) I'm getting a loud squeak coming from the front at low speed....which stops as soon as i touch the brakes.....i did think wheel bearing......but as the squeak stops when touching the brakes.....im going for pads. They've done nearly 30k miles ::)
Tho im not getting any pad warning on the mid.......so when I take that side wheel off, i'll take a pic of the sensor and post it, in case ive fitted it wrongly....and hence no warning.
Also Must remember to send Martin back his LPG lead......sorry for the delay :-[
And If i get time.......do my tax return ::) ;D

You don't get a low pad warning until the sensor has been destroyed, daft idea by Vx that one >:(

Just thinking about that yesterday, want to try really low changeover temperature as an experiment

Squealing that disappears when the brake is pressed is probably due to the pads building up a sharp edge which rubs on the disk. If the pads turn out to have plenty of meat on them, file a chamfer on the edges and they'll quieten down.
Hang on.. didn't you change your pads at Tidworth? :o

The sensor is designed to be replaced, it's cheap and cheerful (hence how it works by basically destroying itself) so no big deal really.
