HI ALL
can anyone help with my problem

i need rear pads for my v6 but when i look around there doesn't seem to be a lot for the v6 on this year, are these the same as the 2.5td of the same year? i don't want to order some to find once i've stripped it down to be the wrong ones, then have to send them back.

thanks

I went for the EBC pads, seem to be much less crud comes off them than the crappy apecs I got from the motor factor & seemed to be a bit more responsive.

hi all, i ordered some off the bongo web site and they have just arrived £35.00 with postage not a bad price, they seem ok the make are Solid Ace. not heard of them before but will give them a wirl and see how i go on. the pads themselves seem a decent quality.

cheers

afternoon all

just let you all know just in case somebody else is not sure, the rear pads fit perfect. a really easy job to do to.

i also had an annoying rattle from the back end which prompted me to change the pads while i had it in bits. it turns out the rattle was the rear brake shim which was loose in the carrier so not only did i manage to do a brake service (including cleaning the hanbrake shoes up)i got rid of a rattle "smashing". job well done

thanks all
