This is what mine are like. 95% of my driving is motorway miles and I always leave a decent gap and slow down in advance approaching junctions, roundabouts etc, so am very light on the brakes. Once in a blue moon I will have a 'spirited' drive, where and when it is safe, nothing silly though and only for a couple of minutes, so no way should they get hot enough to get damaged like that. Have checked the caliper and it is fine. I will be following the advice on here and contacting EBC. This is the type of thing you would expect from dirt cheap ebay pads, not from a supposed premium brand with matching prices.

Got up this morning and let the dogs into the garden and when I let them back in, I noticed the one had something in her mouth. I told her to drop it and then noticed it looked like a small brake pad. On closer inspection I noted the green edges and realised that it was part of the rear pad off my car as I have/had Green Stuff on there. Turns out that the friction part of the pad had detached from the plate and just fallen off. Will not be using them again.

Am thinking of having my bonnet resprayed, due to having an ever increasing number of stone chips and was wondering what the ball park figure would be. Cheers

I had the 5 door SportCross version for 3 years and it was a joy to own. Did not have a single problem with it.

Safest and most sensible thing to do is to contact your insurance company and have them add the car onto your new policy for a day. It shouldn't cost much. That way you will have peace of mind and be able to sort out your issues with car. It's not worth taking the risk of either getting stopped by the police or being in an accident. If either of these happened you would be royally screwed. HTH

A lot of coolants only last up to about 5 years. I have the pink 'superlong' in my car and it lasts up to 100,000 miles. So faced with a choice of saving a few quid at a time, but having to change the coolant every 5 years or paying a bit more to start with and only have to top-up, probably for the entire time I will own this car, then it seems like a no-brainer to me.

I got my Falken 452 for £65 a piece, fitted and balanced. The car had budgets on when I bought it and when I changed to the Falkens I noticed a big difference.

I might be just down the road in Monmouth soon. How soon do you need the item collected?
