I just replaced 7-YO pads       with supposedly 3mm left and never heard a thing I could recognize as a       warning sound.              Long ago the sound was an annoying screech, eventually superseded by the       grinding noise as the backing plates made deep grooves in the rotors. No       decrease in braking, however. Not until the hogging-in started, anyway.              Yes, I know, but I was busy...              --       Cheers, Bev        Never argue with a woman holding a torque wrench.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
