BRAKE PADS!

[CHRIS172CUP]

I got some EBC kevlar pads about 2000 miles ago and they quickly devloped a knocking sound. Thought it was serious o took my cup in and they told me because they werent pattern pads (renault) they may be a slightly different size. Fair enough I thought but they said theres nothing wrong them at all, completely safe.

Now, theyre clunking even more and a sound that i can only describe as a metal clip coming loose has started!!

I don;t care if it is safe, its bloody annoying and disconcerting.

I need to know how easy brake pads are to change, Ill have to go for the renault ones again which arent expensive but I know the labour can be around the £50-60 mark which I cant justify again 2000 miles later.

Any comments very welcome.

brake pads easy enough to change mate. a couple of thirteen m bolts. youll need 13,19m sockets ,17m spanner,flat blade screwdriver and some large grips.

my EBC pads did it aswell, changed to Ferodo DS Performance now which dont do it, only thing is the Ferodos produce a lot more dust
