Not by me if that is any consolation.

Yeah, I read your posts at the time and said out loud "See! This guy gets it!". My other half gave me weird looks and told me to shut up.

Nobody piling on but i do hope people reading this learn something. Rather than believing as gospel the advertising bumff people put out to sell their products.

I didn't read any bumph, the 90 came with drilled n grooved disks, I thought it was supposed to help in the mud, I have no idea if they actually do. I bought the cheap pads from ECP as I just happened to be outside when mine got down to the metal, I'd do it again rather than have to buy new discs, it was an emergency measure, and safer than driving round with pads down to bare metal IMO.

There was no debate from ECP staff as to weather I wanted hard pads or soft pads, I didn't even expect them to stock something that would fit. I still think 300 miles from their pads was pants anorl

Best not to buy oxygen sensors for P38's from euro car farts - they have got a few customers into a pickle with them...

Euro Car Parts stocks cheap parts, medium grade and OE quality parts.

Ask for OE quality parts and they should do you OK.

Their Pagid discs and pads seem to last quite well and no squealing or judder. You can get NGK or Bosch oxygen sensors and spatk plugs etc. The problem seems to be the counter staff assume you want the cheapest on the shelf, so you have to tell them you want OE quality

Never really had too many problems with them in the past and I've often used their Pagid stuff too

It's more the fact it's a RR so I don't know what the 'norm' is when it comes to parts. If it was some crappy French trash I'd throw anything on it.

Know what I mean?

I know what you mean.

I've made a living off fixing French crap. and it just gets worse as it gets newer.
