Could someone check the price of rear pads for a 52 2.6 estate vented discs on Tc. hopefully the price I been given is wrong £51 +vat fronts were only£15+

[tunnie]

Have a feeling vented rears are quite pricey! Sounds about right 

[LFF64]

Blimey thats expensive  then 

[Andy B]

I thought all pads were the same

Showing on Trade Club as £44.61.

Plus vat I assume.

Think vented rears on 2.6/3.2 are super expensive compared to 3.0/2.5 non vented which are only around a tenner

But why should the pad be any different? It's just a thicker disc!

rear pads are the same but longer pins for vented,mine only cost me £5 last year but that was because the idiot posted them to  a different address in the street and waited 2 weeks for them

According to TC they are.  Well, the 2.6 and 3.2 are. Didn't look at the others as it was irrelevant.

Just dug up the old thread I was thinking of, looks like the vented ones are not listed on TC, despite them being the same:

Pad set for Vented discs are not on the TC program and trade @ £51.31 + VAT. These pads do also come with the pad pins and springs.

Pads for the Solid discs which are on the trade club program and come out at £12.47 + VAT but do not come with any fittings

What you can do though is use the Solid pads on the Vented Caliper but either re-use the fitting kit or buy new springs and pins

The vented pins are £4.51 each + VAT and the springs are £3.45 each + VAT , so to use the solid pads with a new kit your looking at £37.41 + VAT

I will say that i've only heard of the Solid pads being fitted to the Vented calipers so i can not confirm if this will work so its at your owen risk

Oh and FYI the Vented pads are on back order with GM at the moment

Cheers

Great clarification as always Andy 

I've always re-used the old pins

Hi AndyC,

What are 90541931 showing on TC just for clarification please, so I don't confuse the issue.

Edit. Doh they are shoes.  They are listed under Rear Pads.

Cheers

I've always re-used the old pins 

At risk of agreeing with you ................ 

So do I!

I've replaced the anti-rattle spring that fits at the top recently & just bought them separately.

Something is very, very wrong!
