bananacat Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Mrs has a 2014 1.0 ecoboost and I want to change the brake pads but there seems to be 2 types listed. Any ideas what she will need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kossofffan Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Have a look on Euro car parts, enter your Reg No, then click on performance & it should give you the correct fitment. I've put EBC Greenstuff on mine which have a better feel than stock in normal use and less fade/ more bite when pushing it a little. Also once bedded in create a lot less brake dust on the wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananacat Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 No they are braking systems according to the spec of the pads. They also have different brands like Brembo etc. The difference between the systems seems to be size and one type is a solid pad and the other has a split in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREED Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 For anything other than the ST you want pads which say "for vehicles with rear drum brakes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 whilst I have bought from eurocarparts on many occasions I do find their prices a little high for brake pads. You will be able to get them between 15-20 quid including postage on eBay. Although I am not making any comment on the quality of different brands. On some you get a fitting kit with them. some you don't . It is unlikely you would really need the fitting kit on a car of your age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Be careful of fakes on eBay - it is rife with them for many branded car parts. Difficult to work out in advance which they are though so this聽聽is where an established bricks-and-mortar retailer can be beneficial, even if they might be slightly more expensive. ECP are like DFS with a seemingly endless sale so try not to buy on the rare occasion when there isn't one on! Also, carparts4less.co.uk are the same company, just trading online only, and so tend to be a fair bit cheaper (pretty much ECP sale prices but all the time e.g. the Pagid pads shown above are 拢46.99 at ECP and only 拢31.68 at CP4L).

bananacat Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Guys I'm asking what braking system it would be not about price. Thank you though. The pictures are only a guide as everywhere I have looked quote both types of breaking system and no one says front pads for rear drum breaks.

MJNewton Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The two types vary in size and whether you've got drums on the rear or not. Determining the latter is obviously easy but if you want to be doubly sure measure your current pads.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I watched a TV program recently on fakes. 聽 One of the items listed was fake brake pads being sold on eBay. 聽 One set they tested were more or less useless. 聽 For something as important as brake pads, I don't mind paying a bit extra to make sure I get the right gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just eBay, euro car parts and Eicher pads! they should come with a grinder in the box to help make them fit! absolute garbage that shouldn't be allowed.聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_fairfax Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just to update, Fitted Brembo pads, much better. Discs could do with changing but i'll be part exing the car pretty soon so don't know if it's worth it. Perform a lot better than the standard ford ones that were on there.
