Knew the 405 needed new rear shoes, fair enough, its 95k old and they've probly never been done. Turns out the 6-9 month old Green Stuffs were shagged out on the front, as were the front discs, which were warped and pitted. Oops :) I had noticed my brakes had gone s**te. The pattern Ferodo's are on now, wonder how long they'll last....on new discs :)
Maybe i should check my brakes myself...

Blast and I just paid £60 for a set of disks and pads (all 4 corners) for a new mini.
HA HA :)
thats probably not a bad price for a pair of disks and all the pads. I bet they weren't BMW prices.

No 4 disks and pads, add them to the 3 sets of spare tyres we got through ebay and we have all most all the parts that aren't covered by the TLC pack that are lightly to need servicing before that ends.
