No I had a really annoying squeak that increased in frequency with the speed of the car. The first set was replaced by Mintex under warrenty. The second set I just ditched TBH.DS2500 are good and don't lift of the backing plates like the M1144's did but I thought they were a little over rated TBH. I'm not sure what I was expecting from them tho The standard Mintex pads from buypartsby are fairly decent BTW. I used them on the Xsara and were more than good enough for the road ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Oh that's ok then Yeah warranty replacement sounds like a good idea. Saw the standard mintex but decided to go for these What's the recommended way to bed them in when they are first fitted? As I have never had to "run in" brand new uprated pads before. Is it a case of cook them until they fail and that's them sorted ________________________________________ Sold my GTI-6 now riding in a Scooby--------------------------------- James |

But if you just try and take it easy for a few 100 miles you'd be ok Especially with brand new discs.________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

There was a problem 2 years ago with the backing plate to pad glue stuff with the mintex 1144s. Was apparently fixed, but you'll know pretty quickly if its not - they start to squeal all the time off the brakes. If they start to do that get them changed straight away.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I'm sure there's an FAQ on bedding in new pads. Is there not a leaflet in with the pads telling you how to do it?________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

, I wrote one somewhere!Bed them in gently for a few miles to get the disc and pad mating properly, then as Steve said - build the heat up through the pad and the disc with some successive 30-40mph moderate stops, then do a few 70mph stops to bring the temperature right up and burn the resins off the pads and get a good thick transfer layer down on the disc. If done properly the pads will last longer and bite better, so worth doing. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yeah just found a FAQ ClickyIt says careful driving for 150 miles when fitting new discs as well. Then after that, brake at 80% effort from 60mph to 10mph, 8 times. Sounds ok ________________________________________ Sold my GTI-6 now riding in a Scooby--------------------------------- James |
