Did my 3 series tourer brakes front and rear with new sensors and saved a fortune. BMW wanted £800. I did it for £320 with Brembo pads / discs using OEM sensors.

Years ago had a mobile mechanic come to the house and do the brakes on my wife's car, dude never bothered to pump the pedal afterwards so the pedal was 100% soft. We were lucky that it was me who drove it next and I very nearly ended up in a ditch only thing that saved me was the car had a manual handbrake I could use while driving to slow down

You’ve made that car safe, there was less meat on those brakes than in a Greggs pasty! Another great job Baz 👏

One of my relatives had his van pass an MOT with brakes and discs exactly like that. He complaned a month or so after the test of a noise as on this Corsa. I found the exact scenario.

This is a Corsa E 1.4 petrol non-turbo? Excellent choice for used car, bought these for family members. Just change oil reg. and zero problems except for elec glitches like TPMS faults which self-clear by learning mode. 50 mpg on a run is easy doable.

Have you ever had trouble with the Vauxhall callipers with composite pistons getting hot after pads or discs and pad change, had it a few times on most Vauxhall models, new calliper cures it , but when stripped the old ones are fine yet stick under pressure

No not that I've come across it buddy, I don't normally do brake jobs, today was a quiet day so jumped on some faster moving jobs

Calliper wind back tool should be used rather than pry bar.

@@bazmeredith because i see it many times myself especially on rear brakes, they dont get to metal to metal in twelve months like that , they were ok on the edge of the pad thats easy to see , mirrors are not used enought and trying to do quick tests.
