I was going to get them made up myself, but ran out of time...
Tower View Supply them ready to fit. Remember to do the rears as well !!! As an S owner, like a div I forgot and only did the fronts first time D'oh !!
I would also consider changing to better pads. I have Red Dot Racing pads at the moment and they are alright, but will be changing to Pagid's in near future as they have always been the best pads I have ever used, ran them in the S.
I also use a special brake fluid, it is fully synthetic and does not absorb any water, but will operate at a higher temp without degradation. Particulary beneficial for when the car is stood around for periods of time. Mine never used to be, but now is and I didn't want to loose and braking efficieny because of it.
It is not a race fluid and has been specifically created for loew use cars, sports classics etc .. I'll dig out the name for you.

Flasher,
Spot on sir, glad to see you back and regaining your health.
I mailed Dusty for advice, but he was too busy looking for Griffiths to impart his undoubted and unequalled knowledge.
Cheers, getting better every day.
As for Dusty, I hear he's quiet today as he's re-writing Steve Heath's bible.....

Took me a while but I finished it!
Griffith bible: The new testement said:
1. turn key
2. If it works drive and grin
3. if it doesn't log on to PH and hope shpub is online
Note: Under no circumstances attempt to race a Cupra R. Even under full acceleration you may still feel it nudging at the back bumper trying to get past.
Amen
