Worked Out What The Problem Is

[Saraj]

Right, finally worked out the problem,

I bought some alloys, and swaped the wheel over, and took a look again, and noticed the spring holding the pads in disspeared in the space of 48 hours, this was causing the sounds whilst braking, then took a closer look and one of the pads was just in pieces?

the metal part was against the disc and the two bits of pad behind it, looks like the pads came off. Which was casuing the scrapping noises whilst trying, metal bit side by side with the disc.

Going to need to get the kit again and new pad for it, then I should be sorted,

No idea what caused the damage to pad, any ideas?

Faulty pad? maybe take it back to my local shop were I bought the set from, there were Mintex ones.

Hopefully should have all my problems sorted !

Who fitted them ? My Mintex pads have been great.

There were fitted by a local garage who I have never used before, as I need them fitted quickly on a Saturday morning, there were the only ones willing to do this.

But then he did advised the pin was corroed, and I replaced this myself, did I fit it incorrectly? but would it have cause this?

Could the shop somehow have been fooled into buying fake Mintex pads ?

You could never say its not possible, I will speak to them tomorrow morning or Saturday once I get the fitting kit,

Glad you got it sorted though, even if you now want to work out why it happened.

I just want to clarify who at blame, the supplier of the pads? the fitter of the pads? or the fitter of the clips (which is me lol)?
