dcash5 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Discovering a shocking discovery, Heard a metal on metal noise when braking which sounded like very worn pads, but dismissed this as the old owner had put new ebc red stuff pads and had checked, anyway i wasnt happy so whipped the wheel off to find not a pleasent sight, yes he had changed pads to red stuff, but only the outer ones View Exhibit A So i treated myself to Exhibit B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 You've been seriously ripped off. Id be ****ing fuming, what a tight arse!!! Redstuff pads are only £99 for a FULL set back AND front!!! Sounds like he did it just so that when you looked at the wheel you saw the new pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcash5 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yeh dont get me started, did you know it passed a MOT like that aswell!!!! Spoke with VOSA to comment on my discovery as you can imagine i was not a happy bunny, apperently if the car stops satisfactorly on a rolling road and when they look through the wheel they see meat on the outside pad, its a pass!!! :scare: I would of thought its worse having one good pad and one bald pad as its not braking evenly!! Anyway got a nice set of DBA rotors and Endless Pads courtesy of Phil. Much appreciated!! - Ah the bedding in process begins - but on a positive what a nice car the zed is to work on, nice amount of access and im now the master of changing pads on a 350z .

H5 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 +1 on Mike's comment. That is shocking. Makes Phil's / Adam's / Envy's life's even easier with that sort of thing going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
