Re: Ate Brake Pads With Wire Clips

OK Chaps,
So I have to apologise to VW Heritage. They did supply new flat anti rattle clips with the pads. They were hidden under some paper in the box. I'm an idiot, yes.
I was boxing them up to return and found them. Duh!
ANYWAY.
Fitted them last week, and today, although a tad icy still, the roads are dry and snow free here in Lincolnshire. Soooo, thought I'd test them out. Brake peddle seems satisfying stiff (ooo err ) and it was noticeably different how much more responsive they were.
Did ten or so gentle stops from 30 mph to 0, no issues at all.
So, moral is, don't be a Tw*t, check everything right to the bottom of the box... That that was the hardest part.
