Hello guys,

Did a 60,000 KM service exactly one month ago.
I changed the front and rear pads + the rear discs, along with other things.

The car brakes fine, but there's a really annoying squeaking noise.
I called the garage and they said that there shouldn't be any squeaking noise at all, even if the discs and pads aren't original.
I'm gonna go there next week, but I wanted to check with you guys first.

1) Is squeaking normal with brand new discs and pads?

2) I have a lot of dust

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered. Can anybody give me the part numbers for genuine front disks and pads for a 2011 5dr 2.0cdti.

Registration number: BH04LAY

Hi guys, car was services by vx a few weeks back. Brakes advised fine.
But approx 3-4mths ago when under heavy braking they make a loud groaning noise and seems to be when hot.
Was wondering if I need to replace the copper grease on the pads?
Will this cause this type of noise or is the grease to stop just squeezing?
Felt the discs and they are not marked at all

Hey guys,

My Astra has had a service at Vauxhall today and I they have told me I need new discs on the front and pads all around.

I am not paying the £380 to do that so I am trying to find some front discs and pads on all 4 corners.

Pads are straight forward but when looking for Discs it asks the wheel size.  I have 18" as standard but that's not an option on sites like euro car parts.

Do I just get the 17" variant?

I can change the pads and discs myself. just need to know which ones to buy

After having my local do a clean up job after some squeeling noise from what I thought was the nearside rear.... It's back :( previously the mechanic said the nearside rear showed signs of heat stress and the caliper was mighty tough stuck, to keep and eye on it however...

It's a different wheel this time offside rear, but very obvious blue hue to the disc where it has gotten very hot from the pad rubbing it so I have decided to do a complete pad & disc change, whilst cleaning up the calipers m

Hey guys.

I have Astra J GTC 1.7 62 Plate.

Need to change my front brake pads and discs. Do anyone know what size discs width wise my car needs?.

Hi all, 

I currently own a 1.4T SRI and the stopping power really isn't there. I was wondering how hard it would be to fit a set of VXR Brembo Calipers onto my car. I've found a set of Front Calipers on Ebay and they're reasonably priced. What else would be needed apart from the obvious of Calipers, Discs and pads?



Any help would be appreciated
