just put in new brake pads in in the front. Anyone know how long they'll take to "bed in" as I need to take it for its MoT and doubt it would pass its brake test with brand new pads....

Id say about 100 miles.....
But
My 90 passed with brand new disks and pads. They had honestly done about
200meters.........

not long, for discs. Disc brakes ought to pass anyway, if they seem low, you can tell'em it's just had new pads, in case they wonder, and haven't already noticed.
That reminds me, MOT 's due on mine tomorrow.

Good news, that makes life easier...... It has quite an effect on breaking though so I'll be sure to tell them before.
