value for money on brake pads

[roofman]

with money being tight i thought i would hang out and use every bit ...this morning on one of my Vivaro,s...yes it needed discs too.

That’s machining, not braking

There's a bit left on the top right one.
Amatuer .

Yeah, there's another 10 minutes left on there.

Yeah, there's another 10 minutes left on there.

Clamp the brake hoses and there's a load of life left in those.

Problem with Vauxhall's is the bloody brakes squeal even from new so you just learn to ignore it...

Looks like it needs piston or several, or at least reaction frame sliders, freeing up too.

I've had old pads fail to look like that - you do tend to notice it's doesn't stop very well, so I'm a little unsure how it can get to quite that state? I give mine a quick visual inspection every little while. Lancia Brembo front brakes squeal from the first turn too - when my other half complains, I just tell her it's an indication they are working

This is what happens when you let the lads take the vans home and under there care...only heard it when he pulled up to the house last week.

Pistons popped out and cleaned up, slide pins cleaned and greased, sliding cradle cleared of rust build up as the rust jams the pads and they cant move...harsh enviroment under there during the salty winters.
