How to buy brake pads

[mike42]

Sort of a dumb question I know. Never bought any before. The PR number in the service book is 1KW but whenever I put in the reg details into any of the major sites (or ebay) it also shows me pads that link to a different PR number 1KY.

Will the 1KY be compatible ?

Very grateful indeed for any informed replies....

I would never trust ebay, euro etc from the reg.
I would trust the PR code more. I would always try measuring disc the best u can through the wheel if needed and getting a rough idea of what the pads look like.
The PR code should also be on a sticker in spare wheel well to double check

Type your reg number in at Autodoc...there will be OEM numbers for the parts in their listings.

Or try Halfords...I've had no problems with brake parts from them.
