No fella, they're not - check the inside one's. And welcome!

Here's a comparison with my inside one's... The outside one's looked fine!

And as the message is up, you need to replace the sensor as well (a tenner).

Cheers guys,

What do you reckon I should be paying for replacement pads supplied and fitted at a garage?

Cheers :thumbsup:

Which model X?

For a 3.0, £40 for the pads, £10 for the sensor (Sanj - :P )

1 hour labour, so £60 or so.
