Can't tell you the min. thickness without a reg. or VIN, in general terms, there's 2mm wear on the discs with a max. of 1.5mm allowed for pad replacement.
Personally I'd go with Ford, the price won't be too bad and if from a dealer, then they'll be genuine. Pagid are mediocre at best, and often copied in India & China...

Maybe?
Maybe AD want me to sell more pads...
If I had the Reg number I would look on Haynes or E3 - the info off there is more dealer orientated than sales orentated.

@Ubique how has work been?
I had an aircon machine break down today - had covers off in seconds - swaped failed solenoid valve from yellow purging circuit to blue low side filling circuit in seconds - so I could carry on gassing on the hotest day of the year so far.
14mm spanner and indentical lucar connectors - lightening fast pit stop. Nothing stops me selling mulitple KG's of refrigerant - I am the sole reason for global warming.
Robinair AC690 machine - noticed date on it - 2007 - I bought this new in 2007 - how time flies.

Busy-busy, the usual slew of BMW & M-B timing chains, together with lots of aircon jobs and the seasonal uplift in rag-top repairs (or 'foreskin' as my mate calls them) TBH, i'm looking at reverting to dealer employment, for a few reasons, chief amongst them is the number of 'snotters' coming through the doors with little or no money to spend.... but expect 'diagnosis' to include repairs, because 'you just plug it in and the car tells you what's wrong, so why should I pay you for that'.
2007 I bought my second L319, that's still going too - after a few TLC repairs.

"rag top" = skip with roof down!
----------
I am seeing allot of end of life cars with multiple problems with owners with no money.
Jag F type "skip" X152 2016 low mileage thing - spent 12hrs workshop time last week - to find break in ABS wire - last garage had put two OE front sensors on it and a used pump then aborted - I had to remove NSF lower wing - bumper/rad pack and endless other stuff to get to loom - rodent damage. Chap paid up willingly - kept sending him photos of his car stripped. I fixed it - labour only - no parts (bar a blob of solder and some heatshrink - few trim clips). I wanted to route in extra pair of wires - leave redundant broken ones in - but punter was having none of it - wanted it done properly - he did not want to buy the looms ex dealership thou - they were silly money (and on back order to factory) - looms made my labour bill look cheap.
So...? Old Git - which franchise gets the old man next - you done the rounds - Merc VW JLR Pug have you not...? Can't you find some Suzuki dealership and spin a few filters on OAP's cars - drink some tea - till retirement.

Yep, they seem to be 'ignored' until they're no longer driveable, then they want the last xx-years worth of issues dealt with in an hour with parts cost of ~£50, even though the SRI has been screaming at them for the last 768 days (like the one I saw earlier this week). The only jobs we get without issue are ones from dealerships selling non-brand used cars or ones with aftermarket warranties, even service and MoT jobs seem to all have 'issues' of one kind or another - we've taken to doing MoT's as they should be - i.e. as the vehicle is presented for test, no more 'pre-MoT inspections, if they fail on something stupid (EML on, brakes below 1.5mm, tyre damaged or below 1.6mm, vanity registration plates fitted etc.) then they get failed and the driver advised it has failed, not will fail.,
Then there's the other side, that is increasingly a smaller proportion - bringing cars in for minor issues, that will prevent bigger and more costly issues later on, services on time or mileage, keeping them legal - which also ties in with the minimum acceptable standards of safety for the occupants and everyone around...
We had a M-B GLE in yesterday, rear suspension had been dropping overnight for ~4 months, root cause was the valve block not shutting off properly due to moisture ingress (poor design decisions by M-B), however, it now needs both rear air springs replacing due to having more stretch marks than a fat lass with the corresponding air leaks - could have been prevented if the valve block was changed a lot earlier, preventing the stress on the air springs....

Dealing with the general public is no fun mate...
MOT pre insp' - is mugs game - waste of the labour charge for punter - just test it - get the list and work from there - hope the list is not so long - it takes more than ten days to resolve for a free retest...

I agree, dealing with the public is the problem.
Day in, day out.
I'd shoot the lot of them, but it's frowned upon apparently.

Why do I have it my mind - dealing with the French and holiday makers in France over boats.
Would be better than dealing with the mongrel mix of end of life car owners I have to deal with..
Or am I...? @Barking Mat - kidding myself...?

And a few more besides!
TBH I think I'd get bored spinning filters and even OAP car dealers have their targets to meet, plus the money is only there if you're prepared to get stuck in to lots of 'big jobs'. JLR are advertising locally....
We'll see.

It is at the point you tell them that the vehicle is not an economic repair and it is scrap.
Then they tell you they got two or three years HP payments left to pay -

had good results with pagid on works vans
but with fast stuff, or heavy non commercial stuff (jag xjr, range rover) they;ve had a habit of warping
didn't expect it with the jag, it's pretty light (1.8ton) for the size of the car and the disks are massive plus I didn't hammer it

Ford dont make pads,well not anymore,discs i reckon the same,all sourced from outside,cheaper like that
Give ford a call and ask a price,make sure your sitting down when they get back to you
Pagid is mid-range at best. I wouldn't buy it for the fact it's a brand from the shysters that are ECP.
Genuine Ford can be cheaper if you get it at trade.
My last custom I could get front pads and discs cheaper from Ford, than I could for decent aftermarket.
