A couple more DBS questions!
Discussion
Has anyone had any issues with the ceramic brakes? Servicing the DB9 was pricey but to be expected, however I’m told the ceramic brakes are £20k to replace. Has anyone had any problems with these?
Slightly sillier question.. When in “sport mode” the sound is quite impressive, is this further enhanced by removing Fuse 22 if indeed the DBS has a fuse22? OR does the sport mode simply leave the valve open anyway?
As always thanks inadvance!

I'll let those with better experience advise on ceramics - my understanding is that unless you are unlucky with warping or cracking it's only pads that need replacing, at a cost not that much more than on any other AstonSlightly sillier question..

re sport, this opens up the exhaust valves lower down the rev range but still keeps them closed at the lower revs so quieter for cruising. Removing the fuse keeps the valves open all the time

I have had no issues with the Ceramics. I have had new pads @ £666.00 with a bit of discount applied after 11,000 miles but I believe that there are plenty of 20,000 milers that are on their first set of pads. I believe these people are often called Miss Daisy Nick
