I tried Minte discs and pads despite people advising me against it and regretted it. They squealed like a pig and snaked when braking at 70mph

I've never had a problem with non MD   parts for Ford , Opel ,Landrover and Vauxhall.
I've fitted brakes , discs , suspension and steering components , exhausts inc catylitic converters , filters ,oil and belts etc.
In fact I think the only item I've bought from my " local " GM dealer in the last 4 years is the plastic washers for the door stay !
Example , I fitted a new Cat  two years ago . GM price € 1000 (  ) with 12 months G'tee .
E bay , £ 95 delivered from Glasgow in 48 hours with 12 months G'tee ......... Shimple !

I'm suprised there werent a couple of quid cheaper. Chinese parts would actualy improve an LDV van
