Had my V8V MOT'd yesterday & they advised the front pads were very nearly done, AM advised the same a year ago so I bought front & rear from Eurocarparts. I've just spent the last hour fitting them. Of all the cars I've ever fitted pads to, this is by far the easiest .

If I hadn't come over all OCD on cleaning the wheels whilst they were off I'm sure I could have done both sides in half an hour. Wilmslow wanted ridiculous money to replace them, thanks to Lunas video this really is a smile job if you have a few tools in the garage.

Second that!

The idea of paying someone to do this is insane.

Oh.... And just a quick heads up..... Something I didn't mention on the video..... There is a "pad bedding in" procedure to follow...

It's in the manual, but basically it involves a few initial hard braking applications from 60 or 70 mph....

Just make sure you choose somewhere other than town centre to bed the brakes in hehehehe
