I cannot locate rear brake pads for my Rapide s, the local dealer needs a week to get them in, and he is 250 miles from me,
I've been told that some other cars have the same pads, can anyone help please?

Can you size up the pad or identify the caliper?
If so look on the ferodo website and find a similar sizes DSUNo/DS1.11/DS2500.

Can you change them yourself?

Thanks,
Yes can change myself, funny enough I was thinking of pulling a pad and making a sketch, I still have about 5mm left as car has only done 6k but off to Nurburgring on Tuesday and wanted to take a set with me incase needed.

I seem to remember that they are the same as the DB9 4 pot fronts... Look into that.

I bought Porterfiled R4-S for mine AP1165

Brembo numbers on calipers are:
Fronts 20.A524.03 and 20.A524.04
Rears 20.A526.01 and 20.A526.02



HTH - and DONT' wrap it! I took mine round when it was soaking and it washed the tyres nicely - that is, when it was pointing in a straight line at all wink

Thanks for that,
I removed the pads this morning and made a sketch, the numbers are different however the measurements are the same,
I will now shop around.
