Question re: Brake pad wear
Discussion
Hi,
I'm after some advice - I had both sets of brake pads changed on my DBS about 2 months ago, and since then I have done just under 12,000km of mainly (95%) motorway driving. The roads here are pretty clear, so not a lot of stop/start traffic.
Today, I got the warning light on the dash stating that the rear pads were low, so my question would be, should I expect to get through a set of new pads in this sort of mileage, under these sorts of driving conditions? I know that wear will be affected by how hard I drive it, and needless to say, I try to put it through its paces whenever I can, but I'm certainly not track driving, or anything near it!
I appreciate any help or advice!
Thanks,
Scott.
