brake

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.

    MG4 front brake pads (aftermarket)

    Having read recent posts about the availability of (or lack of) MG4 brake pads, I see GSF car parts have these listed. I entered my reg for a Trophy ER and it shows these as being compatible. I assume the picture is a generic btw. Certainly a much better price than the £260 Brown & gammons want!

    So the other day went to change the tyres and so while on the jack went to look at the brake pads which I thought by now were nearing their end at 120,000 km. But was surprised they are still only half way and discs are as new with no edge at all. How much were these expected to last? The...
