Disc brake pad wear

[Flytvr]

If you get to the stage where you need to replace disc brake pad wear indicators, be warned, they are North of £250 at main dealers.

I shipped a pair over from the States for much less. Worked a treat 😁

OEMs of 3rd party compatible stuff? If OEMs would love to know who you used for future reference.

Quicker option than US imports may be front pads from Lexuspartsdirect - £121 a set. I'd assume they're genuine, plus there'll be P&P on top?

How much were the US pads? Don't need any yet (my squeaky pads were replaced under warranty) but it's worth knowing who you dealt with 😀

Pads don't come with wear sensors on the LC.

Bang on.

If you buy the pads from LPD, there will be no sensors - and you'll have to buy from your main dealer (circa £250)...... unless you take my original advice.

And if I’d read your original post properly and realised you were discussing the wear sensors not the pads I wouldn’t have wasted everybody’s time 😂

Absolutely correct. Copper grease is far better 😎
