Hi guys,

On my way home from work this evening I had 2 lights come up on my dash board. The first was a red car on what looks like a workshop lift and also the red handbrake light.

I have had a read through the owners manual and I believe it is the brake pad sensors, if it is the brake pads do they need to be changed ASAP or do they have a few miles left in them? I'm suprised they need replacing as the car only has 16000 miles on it and they don't 'feel' like they need changing yet...also the car now says its -320 miles overdue a service.

If the brake pads do need replacing can anyone recommend some suitable replacements?

Regards,
Alex

Visually check the pads to be sure there safe to use....
