Yup, TC pads from dealer. About £15 + VAT.

As near as dammit OE performance at less than budget price. Far better than the crud that the likes on Mintex sell.

Only downside (compared to OE) is a lack of feel when cold.

As above, TC pads are totally fine for everyday use. Cheap and last good amoutn of time.

Just as well really as the inner part of the disc always appears to rot on the edge

The 'numpty' ordered the correct pads, ALL pads are the same. The sensor clips to the butterfly shaped anti-rattle spring.

Depends if there is a hole in the pad to press the sensor into, I suppose.  Pattern parts are just that. Not exact copies and not always to 'pattern'.
