Took the T5 cab in for its MOT failed last year on tie rod so replaced those and replaced front brake pads NO IDEA why as there was loads of meat left on the old ones but had some Pagid pads sitting unopened from a year ago so put them on. They were a tight fit getting them over the disc lip.
Off to MOT - only fault FAILED front brake imbalance but from 70 - standstill - they bite like a bugger so whats going on?
Took car home on jacks stripped the calipers wire brushed all the crud out and refitted all looked good - another test run all good
Back to MOT bandits - on the dyno FAILED AGAIN WTF?????
What can be causing this the brakes on this car have never been a problem EXCEPT for those Pagid pads ??? The MOT geezer said they would fit Pagid and they are ok - I think not!!
pissed off! so I only have the sick T5 P2 with the engine light on to drive around in - lost my lovely C70
PLUS - SKINT from all the costs to repair the P2 !
