Getting a set of porterfield pads from smithy and looking for somewhere local to fit them. Anyone know of a decent garage in Berkshire that will fit them? My local place wont fit them because they are not supplying them!

Cheers

Fit them yourself, won't take long... you just need some copper grease to put on the back of the pads

hi mate

 

May be worth having a go at yourself

 

just fitted mine today.

they really are the easiest pads i've ever fitted to any car!!

:D

just printed off the page from the online manual. basically its one clip and two pins holding it all in.

I'm a mechanical numb nuts and I managed to do the disks and pads following the ttzd.com guides, it really is easy!
