well a new lesson i need to reamber is when the brakes start squeeling it normally means time to change the pads but kinda put if till going into work and hitting the brakes to find i had nothing left. and my god did i **** my pants so i had to put in halfords own pads on drilled and grooved disks on lunch and they dont like the pads or the pads dont like the disks as they work fine at the start but as soon as heat gets up get ready for some major brake fade lol so now waiting for my ebc pads to arrive

6 months i think but i had ebc yellows on standard disks the switched to perfomance disks and they got nailed quicker than a tank of fuel
