1st Service Results !

[ZACK]

Thought It Would be Good To Have A Thread Where Everyone Can Post Their 1st Service Results !

Just Had Mine At 13,000 Miles ( 5 And A Half Months Old )...

New Front Pads,
New Link Rod Needed,
2 New Front Tyres.

That's AWESOME For 6 Months Worth Compared To The Parts My Astra Used To Had To Have Every Month !

[joeking27]

What have you been doing to car to need all that in 6 months?

New Front Pads

Somebody's a bit heavy on the ol' brakeroonies

[ZACK]

What have you been doing to car to need all that in 6 months?

I Actually Consider It Good... In My Old Car I Was Going Through Front Tyres + Pads Every 2 Months...

[Dangerousfish]

...how? How many miles are/were you covering in two months? You thought about progressive braking?

Low speeds:

High speeds:

[ZACK]

Nah I Usually Have To Slam Them On... :L

[Bigfeet]

Could be that the pads may have been damaged when *cough* 'the incident' happened?

[ZACK]

Ah Shit I Forgot About That !

No The Pads Got Changed Then lol Aswell As The Discs, Hubs And Calipers :L

So The Pads Have Only Actually Lasted Me 2 Months lol

Try taking your foot off the brake when driving Zack. I get accused of having concrete shoes but I still managed to make a set of pads last 30k on my C4 lol

Yeah pads to last 2months is bad

[qwijibo]

Blimey! pads lasting 2 months, and front tyres lasting 6 months considered good! Dont want to be anywhere near you driving like that!

[Bigfeet]

Zack did you see the pads that were taken off the car? Joking aside that is very unusual wear for that part, hoping the servicing agent is not taking you for a mug.

[ZACK]

Well I Don't Know ?

I Know They Were Definitley Changed 2 Months Ago As It Was All Smashed To Pieces But No I Didnt Get A Look This Time...

What You Think About The Link Rod Too ? As Thats Gunna Cost Me £80 Without Fitting ?...

[Bigfeet]

The link rod I can understand as it does get overlooked but the pads make me suspicious because unless you have been driving around with the brakes on all the time then there is no way they should have worn so quick.
