Been having an intermittent brake pad warning light come up on my dash for the last 6 months.
It would come on, go off, come off and go off for days or weeks but then it would come again.
Popped over a mates place and had a look at the cables and they all seemed to be stretched, the brackets also appeared to be bent to release some of the strain from the stretched cables.
I priced up the option of new pads and brackets and this totaled to pretty much the same cost as going larger brakes.
Davisbike was selling a set of 360mm brakes and thought it would be rude not to upgrade when it was a little bit more than just replacing.
Spoke to Davisbike, set a date and popped down.
Parked the 3.0TDI behind a W12, jacked it up and removed the wheels ready.
Old brakes removed and sat next to the new ones to compare sizes.
Some time later and the new 360s was fitted and wheels was on.
Looking good and feeling good so far.
Next is larger rear brakes so they don't look so silly when compared to the fronts.
