My brakes are officially finished of today. Grinding noise coming from front right wheel. I suspect the left wheel will start soon. Just past 73k.
Gonna look for some new pads on ebay!! :roll:

I actually have a set of G60 calipers and rotors sitting in the next room without pads but i dont have carriers for them! the plan was to fit them before i had to buy pads. Cant find them carreiers anywhere. Anyone know where i can get a a pair? or some alternative. As far as i know all i need apart from that is 16v hubs which are easier to find. Maybe ill try wanted section :)

Bolts now stuck!

Right i bought new pads for the original discs for £20. Now the bloody caliper bolts wont come off and it looks like ill have to grind them off and put new bolts!! Genius VW put some rubbish allen bolts on there with hardly any head so theyre easy to round off once they've been on there a while. I managed to round off one of them. What a mission to change brake pads :(
