Fitting new pads

(1/4) > >>

JumboBeef:
I need to fit new pads all round to my Disco (V8 auto, 1996).  My local Halfurds has them in stock at £25 for the front and £20 for the rear.

It's been years since I fitted new pads, so is there anything to be aware of please?  Also, do I need to replace the split pins or any other parts?

Thanks.

have you thought about paddocks they're a lot cheaper even with p&p

To have them here by tomorrow is going to cost me £40.77, a saving of only a few quid (and I want them this afternoon).

BTW, any idea if my pads will have sensors?

andrew2986:
Hi Ive got a 97 V8 and it doesn't have pad sensors, if ive bought pads that have them I just cut the wires off. I think it makes the job easier to get a fitting kit with the pads, and I always put copper-slip on the back of the pads and the pins.

oh and dont forget that when you push the pistons back in the fluid in the reservoir will go up !

JumboBeef:
OK, thanks.

OK, I'm going to order them from Paddocks, because without sensors it works out about £15 less than Halfuds (and I don't want to give Halfuds any money :lol: ).

Thanks for the help.
