Soon I'll be changing the front discs and pads on an 08 plate MK 2 Focus 1.6 TDCI.

Does anyone know the torque settings for the caliper and caliper carrier?

Cheers!! ;)

    Wheel nut torque depends on what wheels and nuts are fitted:

    Steel wheel nuts (gold nuts) 90 nm

    Steel wheel nuts (silver nuts) 130 nm

    1-piece alloy wheel nut for alloy wheels and 5-spoke steel wheel 130 nm

    1-piece alloy wheel locking nut 130 nm

    2-piece alloy wheel nut with conical washer 110 nm

    2-piece alloy wheel locking nut with conical washer 110 nm

    The car seems to be suffering from slightly warped discs, only now getting round to sorting it.
