Non VX Brake pads and discs
« on: 08 May 2007, 23:41:23 »
Thinking of replacing front and rear brakes including discs is it a good move to use no VX parts. If so can anyone recommend a supplier/manufacturer who are relatively good and not too pricey.If NO how much should i expect to pay for VX parts.

Vx disks on Trade Club is the way to go...

Assuming yours are the solid (not vented) type, two rear discs/drums are £58.36 + VAT on TC (P/N 90444513)

The pads are £10.95+VAT (P/N 9192126) and the hand brake shoes are £37.72+VAT (P/N 90541931)

You could always make a short trip to Bury - I'm in the ABS & have a Trade Club card.  ;)  :y

Always put National discs and Lucas pads on ours , not had any issues with these to date, and relatively inexpensive especially compared to Vx prices.

I have some pattern discs/pads on the MV6. They are appalling. Stick to genuine for normal use.

I bought front discs from them (Rochdale) years ago for my 12v Senator (in those dark days before ABS had Trade Club use) and they lasted about 3/4000 miles. When I complained I was told that I'd fitted then incorrectly & weren't interested in the slightest  >:( Needless to say I haven't been back.
