If you want them I can get more info as I bought an axle on here and they came off that. They were meant to stay on the axle but the garage ballsed the job up so I now have them spare.
I have no clue what they are worth so PM me (if you want/need them) later with a price your happy with and I can send photos/extra info. Last edited by tomd0801754 on Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:46 am; edited 1 time in total
#32: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:30 am ---- Was the L plate top or bottom?
#33: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:41 am ---- Bottom. That's where it's meant to be?!
#34: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:12 am ---- I cant understand how they keep falling out, mine were so tight to put in, im sure the pin is only there as a back up. Do you lose the L plate as well?
#35: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:25 am ---- Yes, L plate had completely gone. I put in a split pin rather than the piddly clip that comes with the fitting kit so it shouldn't have come out. There was a bit of a bang just as I was stopping so don't know if it forced the cottor pin out in which case I would need a new caliper most likely. If the split pain came out then it could just have been the pads ratoating out in which case there may still be damage to the caliper. I don't really know to be honest. Just lost all faith in it. ot great when you consider having to keep spare pads and tools in the car just in case
#36: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:28 am ---- Well the motion of the wheel turning, should pull the pads in. Where do you buy the L plate and anti rattle pins from? Next time you replace them, tak a pic.
#37: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:34 am ---- The only thing that different from the way I install it and the Documentation Technique site is that my L plate has the hole vertically rather than horizontally. The diosc rotating should put the pads into the top of the caliper but the bottom should catch on the caliper body due to the shape of the bandix pad. Technically it shouldn't pop out without a lot of force. Got the fitting kit from a LMF as it's was the only one available in the area at the time. Peugeot could get them without a few hours although would cost £25 more than the motor factor. My only concern was that the anti rattle sorings weren't fitted as I was missing one ni the pack andtghey weren't previously fitted. People on here and a mechnic friend said they weren't essential but now I'm thinking they are if only to stop the vibration of the pads within the caliper affecting the fitting kit. It's in the garage now, hopefully being sorted but we'll see. I questioned my installbefore as I always panic with brakes but my mechanic neighbour said everything was all ok.
#38: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 7:08 am ---- you can get a complete fitting kit from Camberly auto factors, or any motor factors that does brakes, as for the sorting it, im still looking into it. but it does appear to be a rather prevelant issue.
#39: Re: Losing rear pads Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 9:02 am ---- Sounds like installation error to me.
#40: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 9:03 am ---- Three times though?! By two different people? If it were a one off then I would agree.
#41: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:38 am ---- I cant understand why its coming out to be honest. Get a pic up when its done, and well see if it looks ok!
#42: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:42 am ---- I can't either. Will post a picture. Going to have a good look when I pick it up from the garage in a bit. Fitting kit was a problem to get hold of apparently... hoping they didn't go to pug as the fitting kit is more than the pads themselves there!
Speaking to someone else I was saying that with the problem side I can slide the cotter pin in with ease. On the 306 and the other side of this one I have to tap it in. He said that something isn't right as it should never be easily installed and that there's likely to be an issue with the pads or the fitting kit. He's never heard of a caliper failing so thinks that's got to be what it was.
#43: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 12:38 pm ---- Picked it up and had a look. He told me that the anti rattle springs are a necessity - my original post from the old forum isn't available now so can't name and shame. The cotter pins are in the other way around so that the securing pins go in horizontally. Seems nice and tight there
#44: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:19 pm ---- Your rear caliper doesnt look right. On the left of where your L plate is there is a point of metal. Look at the pictures from page 1 and 2, im sure they look different to mine. Can you wip the wheel off and get some better pictures?
#45: Re: Losing rear pads Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:22 pm ---- Also, look at Edwards picture, thats the way the anti rattle pins should go in. I think yours might be upside down?
