Brake pads
My "check brake linings" and red light came on not long after the first service. I asked and they said surprisingly they did not check the pads at a service!!!! So I bought some pads and fitted them. Unfortunately when I started the car it still says to check linings and the red light is still on. Does this mean it is a dealer reset, is there a way round it or do I have to look further. Thanks John |

You need to change the sensors front and rear.

Thanks
Do you mean I cannot use the old sensor? I have looked at the rears and they look like there is still some pad left but I didn't try to take them out to really check. Is it difficult because of the handbrake? |

So part of a normal brake job is replacing the sensor? If I replace the pad before the sensor triggers then the old sensor should still be fine...correct?
Its only like a $15 part so maybe I should just replace it at the same time...while I have everything torn apart. |
