This morning I investigated the squeaky brakes. Started at the rear corner under suspicion. Pads disintegrating :eek:. Noo pads ordered. Need to have a check on the front brakes (soon).
 
Cripes, that's a bit scary :eek::confused:
I routinely keep an eye on them. Still show a good pad thickness, only half worn down. But today I took them out to clean and copper grease them and replace with noo split pins n springy things. Friction material is delaminating from the steel plates and starting to crumble :eek:. They are the originals they left the factory with, but now pushing 8 years old n 45k miles. I have never had pads this old in any car ever so age wise I now know their limits. Will have the front pads out tomorrow (probably).
 
Good evening from Westfield sole(Kent)
