Hi

I'm about to order new disks and pads (+ fitting kits) for my 300 tdi. The pads will be either Mintex or Lockheed (both about the same price).

What exactly was the problem with the pads? Did the garage replace with other Mintex ones or with another make? Should I go for the Lockheed ones or look for another well known make?

May not have been the pads  :shock:  I had a Ford Granada once (also 5 stud wheels) and this noise started after I had new tyres fitted. Because the tyre fitter did the wheelnuts up in rotation rather than opposing, the wheelnuts were tight but the wheel was jammed on the hub lip. This left the disc loose enough to bounce on the studs. Removed the wheel and refitted, noise disappeared. So much for a Quick Fit fitter  :evil:  :lol:

Discohugh:
No definitely the pads, had no probs since. (fingers crossed) :?

SEDDEY:
Glad to hear it sorted. There are enough bloody noises on these things without another !!!!

Discohugh:
True, very true. :roll:
