[teddy2k5]

hi again just a quick one i have just been to get a front and back pads for my car and the front pads have there low warning wire on then but am not sure if my car has the wire cos the m.o.t guy said 2 months agao the brakes were very low and nerly failed me but got no light on dash of low brakes so will the new pads fit anyway or will they be for diffrent car they guy said he had run my plate through the VW system and they come upo for it or maybe the last brakes that went in didnt have the wire

they should fit ok mate if not needed you can just cut the wire away

[teddy2k5]

I use a Draper Brake Caliper Wind Back Cube Tool rather than a G clamp.

you can also use the spanner from a 5" angle grinder to wind the piston back in,it works perfect,did mine last week

were your discs ok?

[neil mahoney]

they were fine, did not touch the disc,the spanner used to change the blade on a grinder has two notches on and these fit perfect to wind piston back in.
