casuk Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi all I recently bought a 2009 fiesta 1.6 tdci EcoBoost, I'm needing discs and pads and was just wondering were you all buy from and what type of prices are they 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 EcoBoost is the petrol model, and they weren't even made in 2009. Yours might be an Econetic instead. (Low emission spec) For brake pads and discs you've got plenty of choice. Euro Car Parts is probably easiest and they have regular 'offers' on that bring the prices down, if you can wait for delivery Carparts4less is the same as ECP but have no shops so their parts are cheaper. I use Pagid personally but others may have different preferences. We can all agree on avoiding the really cheap stuff like Eicher though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Lanc Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Go for Ferodo premium discs & pads ? The discs have a special none rusting silver coating, they'll look great for many years. Most car parts shops will sell such discs & pads, just don't go for anything cheap & nasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng_Ahmad1986 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 speaking about brakes, ford dealer in Egypt sells brake pads for the mk8 in two different categories, as they name them the light duty pads and the heavy duty, I figured out that they mean by the light duty is motorcraft, and the heavy duty is ford genuine part, so whats the difference if anybody knows ? will the ford part live a little longer or something ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I thought motorcraft is a ford brand isn’t it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcraft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim H Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Two things you should never skimp on with cars.......Brakes and Tyres! It's what keeps you on the ground and what stops you. Remember, Performance is desirable, stopping is essential! I'd recommend Mintex, Ferrodo, or Pagid brakes. You can pick them up cheaply on eBay, and ECP (Euro Car Parts) sell Pagid stuff. I personally use Green-stuff from EBC. Used EBC and Mintex on all of our cars in the family and never had any problems stopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Pagid is my go to now. Seem to be about the best mid-range brand. On a bog standard eco warrior there's no need go go high end "performance" brakes. They only work properly when hot anyway. Brembo are also good (and a little more expensive), however do squeak a little in my experience so I try to stick with pagid for most jobs now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are different manufacturers who supply them . The motorcraft ones seem to wear quicker and dirty your alloy wheels more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
