Brake Pads how many Miles per set?

Hi,

I've done 28k miles now and still on the 1st set of brake pads.
The monkey boys at Peugeot said they are fine ages ago at 20k, but how much longer do you think they'll last?

I have got through 2 sets of tyres already and do 'Boy Race' around at times but the brakes seem fine.

Regards,

Sherlock.

You mean you drive it like your go-kart?

Sounds like your clutch will go before your brake pads!

i was told when i had my service at just over 19k miles that they had 3-4k miles left.

been to busy to see about getting new ones fitted and they seem fine at 25.5k.

Well mine have done 13k and there's still loads of material left. In fact, looking at the discs, it seems that they'll wear out before the pads. :rolleyes:

I've done 22k. Do you reckon it's time to change? And could that be the cause of my regular "oh sh!t I nearly didn't stop" incidents? I just put that down to the multiplex virus that's hit my brain, meaning that visual breaking signals take a second to register before the message gets to my feet and I hit the brake pedal

Hey Sherlock, can you do a poll? along the lines of "I've never changed my pads/I changed mine between 10-15k/15-20k/20-25k".

Or should I just pay Â£29 for Ferodo pads in halfords and get steve to fit them? The AA service centre wanted Â£83 to fit the pads which cost Â£29 in Halfords next door

And... will Ferodos eat my discs?

A Poll, ok, done.

out of interest, i've done circa 24k mileage in mine now, just had it serviced, and was advised that altho the front brake pads are more worn (usual for the 206 apparently) i shouldn't need to get them checked again for another 5k mileage.

I usually get about 100K out of a set of pads.

Good job really as it would cost me about Â£400 for the front set and Â£150 for the rear set on the puma.

Lucky I dont drive it!!!!

I'm sure this has been answered before on the forum but has anyone managed to get new pads fitted by Pug free of charge?

Cos mine are serious squeakers, well embarrassing!

I've had my car for 22 months and a few months ago moaned about the squeal and they replaced them free of charge but was a long process for them to do it as I was fobbed off for the first year. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
