Brake pad failure
muddy90:
mine is all ways in the mud and my pads last 2 or 3 years i only use dealer pads
andrew2986:
My V8Disco Auto eats rear pads. caught me out a few times now I check them all the time and as the chap before said, think of them as a consumable after an event.

My 300tdi 90 also eats rear pads.
But, it eats Mintex pads from Paddocks, so for less then a tenner, its what i expect really.
Saffy:
Upcoming MOT so being going over truck and listing snags. Checked the rear pads on the 110 300tdi and found the inner with barely any mileage left on them. Checked the log book and I fitted them 3 years ago and over 20k miles - cheapy Mintex ones too. I am told I am a heavy footed late braking driver so on road the mintex have seen some abuse. Seen a fair bit of Wiltshire's lanes in that time too but although the flint in our soil slashes our tyres and the grinding paste mud eats bearings in alternators it seems it's gently on the brake pads.

Strange how its different, mind i suppose 285 special tracks take a lot of stopping :)
