I have a 2008 HSE and need to buy new discs and pads all round.

I have it on good authority that Britpart XD pads are Ferrodo under another name. Does anyone have any experience of them?

Also, does anyone have any tips on decent discs to purchase? I have tried the usual places, but given the choice, any advice is welcome

Finally, I've just realised the link to Microcat on the Russian website is no longer available. Does anyone know a place to check what part numbers one needs when buying new discs/pads?

Sorry for all the questions...just hoping someone can tell me what they have and how good they are!

Cheers.

These sites are still working:

http://new.lrcat.com/
http://cat.lrparts.ru/

Also site sponsors (Duckworth parts) were recently offering a keen price (which I wish I had seen back in January!!!)

Had just bought a full set of Ferrodo front & rear discs & pads (incl new bolts, grease) for £146 delivered.
Let me know if a link is required. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I fitted Britpart XS discs and pads to the rear end this winter. No problems whatsoever, working as they should. The discs seems to be of a better material quality than most as I have noticed that they rusts a lot less when the car has stood for a while. Bought mine from Island 4x4:

Cheers all...I went for XS / XD pads and discs, will let you know how I got on after fitting them at the weekend.

If you do the rear, it is smart to replace the hand brake shoes also. They do not wear, but I have seen several cases where their linings has loosened from the steel shoes due to corrosion over time and then taken the internals with them inside the drum and locked up the wheel solid. So for the piece of mind, replace them also

That seems a very good price indeed.

Yes, please!

Opps sorry, only just seen this but no doubt too late for you, but may be of use to others.
Also, it was Mintex, not Ferrodo as stated.
Supplier is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/quality.car.part...7675.l2559

And this was the order specific to my FL2, oh and it was just £144.40 all in.
Front: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261800346683?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT
Rear: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261800409676?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT
And I got my order the next day in specific 'brake boxes'.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Ron, how do you find these mintex discs and pads mate, I need some, but thinking of going down lines of drilled and grooved

Find them absolutely fine, though I'm not hard on brakes, rely more on advanced driving techniques - eg. think & plan ahead.

As a side issue, when doing the replacements I've now adjusted the handbrake so it's holding solid on just one notch. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Never had to replace cable or handbrake shoes?
