  1. Yeah - plan to take Exisiting Pads out and measure them etc - Good idea outlining with a pencil 👌
  2. Ooh heck! Ah well, can be sorted! Before now, a long time ago on an import Impreza, back in 2000, I took thepads out, and drew round them, and went into the autofactors. Easily sorted for someone behind the counter assuming they can be bothered!
  3. Mechanic suggests I’m gonna need to replace calliper's, carriers and disks to get this sorted which sounds crazy to me - I ll add picks soon as i get them as pads must be available. I ve dug into this more over the weekend and have discovered exactly that Gents, I have Sumitomo re callipers with a part number on the Pads that’s rubbed off. We re gonna strip it down and again and take some measurements. Really dont want to replace everything to replace Pads as brakes work great. I ll share some images on this chat later. Anyone here had pads refurbished as I beleive that’s possible these days although have never had it done. TA M
  4. There was a post a little while ago about cleaning those air quality monitors - there is one in the back as well. The little grill on that switch hides a suction system that passes cabin air over a sensor. As you can imagine this builds up a collection of dust etc. over time and then the sensor is unable to work. Mine looked like: So definitely worth taking a look when you get a chance. A toothbrush or vacuum cleaner should be able to clean it up, just don't push more crud into the unit. :-) I hope this helps.
  5. Ok thanks Neville
  6. Without knowing the PCD of them, no, not a chance of anyone knowing!! The ET (offset of the wheel centreline) is also important, so they don't stick out too far, or too far in and foul the calipers. Cheers, Nev
