You should have noticed they were getting low and not just the mot man. You can't drive it like that will do more damage and be dangerous
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Lol tell me about it. Last time I checked there was a good few mm left. Obviously the last few mm's of pads wear loads quicker than the rest  :undecided:

By the way lads, Iv got a gazebo that I can bring aswell in case it all gets a bit wet. Will need a hand putting it up though.

Worth bringing?

I'm in work tomorrow  :sad:

Great...

Was driving home after collecting Jules from work and noticed a kind of grating sound coming from the back of the car.  Got home and had a quick look, the rear brakes are metal on metal, no pad left at all!!  The car was MOT'd in February, no advisories!!  How the hell did they not notice that!

So got a car to take me to Volksfest, with no rear brakes left  :undecided:

How the hell did you not notice it until now!?   :grin:

Like me, looks like you're going to be a busy boy tomorrow then!

So am I!.... I've got a late one tonight, Tapping a new thread in for a driveshaft is first on the menu.

I think there could be a mm or two left, might take the wheel off tonight and check.
