fatcat Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Just had the front pads and sensors replaced by a Porsche specialist, none of this OPC stuff The place is Autostrasse in Coggashall, Essex and the guy has been running the place for 17 years. I had a nice long chat with him this morning and left after an hour, job all done, no fuss. New front pads and sensors £221. Contact Autostrasse on 01376 562922.

bazza_g Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 that sounds like a jolly good deal - just wish I still had a Boxster to put them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 What mileage did you get out of them? Any idea what the OPC would have charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Changed at 14367 and were told that I could have gotten 24k out of them............//pinch of salt// I think the stealer wanted circa £340............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Thanks FC. I'll have to keep an eye on mine (my car has done more miles than your's and hasn't had any yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I sold my 987S with 25k on the clock and it still have more than 50% of the pads left according to the 111 point check I had done at Reading OPC for the new owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I might add, I did a few trackdays........ Brands Bedford Snetterton Spa Nurburgring x 1.5 so, I reckon 14k was not too bad, considering..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmmlmmam Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Thanks for the extra info. I think mine should be ok for a bit. No track days and heavy braking isn't really my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
