Rear pads excessive wear??
Discussion
Had the car serviced yesterday, the mechanic made a note that my rear pads were 'approx' 80% worn. When I questioned this the receptionist said it is only a visual check and not accurate. So I asked what was the point, do I need new pads or not.
When I got home I checked through my documents, last service, Feb04 rear pads 'approx' 40% worn! WTF, how can rear pads wear that much in 10 months and 8,000 miles?
Can anyone advise me on any causes for this wear or if it is acceptable. The car has 2 months left on its warranty and if there is a problem I would like for it to be sorted ASAP.
The car is a 2002 Mondeo, also I had a rear calliper replaced in the summer as it had seized (common problem according to Fords)
Thank you!!
