[iain.s]

Has any one had dealings with jap parts just been looking at new front discs + pads all round for xtrail looks to be about £150/70 would cover it all , had A quote from nissan1st but was all 2nd hand ( i know they are A breakers ) dont like used brake parts if got choice

Thats the problem with second hand Parts like brakes, you can't always trust them:doh

Just grind the lip off and new pads for beans on fleabay job done

The lips have gotta be at least 4mm too much metal missing off discs for me , am real touchy about brakes cos do lot of miles, inc postage 2 new discs , pads fr+rear copper slip, brake cleaner = £ 125.31 new disc for terrano 2 = £40.70 X 2 Cos never change on their own think seems ok price ?

now I'm really not a very fussy person when it comes to cars, but there is no way i would use second hand brake parts, have you tried getting advice on the official minimum thickness and then getting them measured with verniers. Then you might get away with just pads, job done - or for peace of mind just swap the lot :thumb2

Totally agree & for peace of mind will be swapping the lot , :thumb2 I do 300/700 miles A weeek last thing I want is Adisc partilly breaking up

I generally use brakeparts.co.uk for all my stuff. Even commercials. Very good firm well priced.

at the very least, if the discs don't last you will have scrapped a new set of pads, so false economy if nothing else :thumb2

Have copied that adress & will have A look thanks :thumb2 did put A price for A new terrano 2 disc up for comparison as that seems the most common wheels on here £40.70 each from japarts but all these parts are supposed to be genuine ?

Just been onto that site thanks again are A lot cceaper & oem parts but has come up with hand brake shoes didnt realise this had seperate handbrake from the discs must have drums hidden behind have not looked at anything apart from pads

 

[Timbo_1975]

Yes handbrake shoes are inside the disc- most makes do this now.

They also do calipers, and you will need at least one at some point in your custodianship of an xtrail !!!

Thanks again for that , havent had the spanners out for about 5 years in anger (had rep mobile ) but will have to start doing my bit to keep this on road cant afford fuel & garage bills so will be getting dirty again
