Brake Wire's
waveydavey:
Personally I don't like them as they are only on one side; I once had a stone lodged on that pad, the one on the other side was wafer thin but the indicator gave a false sense of security.
Lesson reminded - there is nothing to beat checking.
Range Rover Blues:
Depending which model you have there is either 1 or 2 wired pads in a set, some later cars had 2 1 sensor each side at the front. They just make the pads more expensive.

Not always ;)
I use the ealier RR pads without the wires as my wires are disconnected (tore off), They are mintex and are half the price of the same with the wires :dance: :dance:
Check paddocks site for the prices ;)

I'm not sure how good they either, I have them on mine and they work fine, I have had a flickering red light for a while.... not replaced them yet as I'm saving for EBC discs and pads, any way the red light has stopped flickering now and has gone off... I guess I have worn the pads so low that the wires have come out the pad! I'm hoping the audible alarm still works OK though... I'm told its a screeching alarm sound that sounds like metal on metal!

The down side to the wired pads is that if you change them when the light illuminates you will still have plenty of meat on them.
I normally check regular since I seem to be under the car more than I'm in it, failing that when the grinding noise starts you class it as an early warning system :lol: and change asap
