All replaced but the pads are squealing like an informant.
Plenty of copper slip and new Pagid discs put on also, though the brand of the pads that turned up were not Pagid and not top quality. I will try to bed them in some more but my gut feeling is this is cheap pads and I should of known better? Any other thoughts?

Yikes! Pagid? Euro Car Parts I presume? Chinese made (except real top end stuff still made in Germany). Best avoided these days.
I've quoted prices from Murrays Direct in the past for S8 bits from reputable manufacturers (Febi-bilstein, Brembo and Zimmermann) http://www.murraysdirect.co.uk/ best to ring as their web site is awful!

As stated before i'm quite happy to supply parts through TPS but you'll have to pay delivery or pick it up. Also worth ringing A8Parts as they will supply new service parts, might include brake parts, and they'd probably get a better price for delivery.

Squealing brakes
Have another go with the copper slip.....make sure u apply at points where metal contacts metal....that is the trick....not lots of copper slip....just where the metal parts make contact....
I m sure the pads u have are good enough.....

Gents, done both.
The copper slip where it should be and I have also tired the old method of huge speed to zero braking. So much so the brakes were smoking and it made no difference. I am sure what I have here is being punished for buying cheap pads and I should of known better. Never had the problem with EBCs on the 100 c4 and the S6 c4. Now looking at 4.2 petrol D3s as a solution (what a great car for the money!). Though short term I will just get some better pads.
