I guess not many on the forum have yet done DIY brake replacements on 2013 cars with EPB. Now you are the authority! I am sure others will follow! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

2013 cars are still, in the main, under warranty and therefore left alone.

I'm going to do my rear discs and pads tomorrow but have to take my tools and do it away from home.

Just done the disc and brake pad repl;acement on my 2013MY with EPB - no problems
You will need rubber gloves 13mm and 15mm combi spanners (I also used the same size sockets for quicker dismantling and rebuild) a T45 star spanner/socket (which also fits the 13mm caliper bolts a clamp for resetting the brake piston Some copper slip grease Don't forget a torque wrench for tightening up afterwards Also something to clean up the hangers, dust shield and calipers an airline is useful for that the dust gets everywhere De-greaser for the new discs Easy job No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS "Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car |

So finally got round to fitting the pads I got from Dan. Quite a simple job, straight forward and the pads, shims and bolts were as expected a good fit.

After MOT I've been advised my rear pads are down to 3mm and fronts similar ( 65000 mls ). Didn't say discs were bad. I'm only doing 5000 miles pa now so not sure how urgent this is.

Do it yourself, not a difficult job and plenty of advice and how to do it guides on this forum. By the way, I would never believe the story "you need new pads " as every time it has happened to me the pads have been fine. Get the wheels off and check for yourself. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
