Our firm's small cars...Fiestas mostly, have all needed pads at around 15K. Again, mostly city use. Multiple drivers, as well.
As an aside, one of the 3 year old Fiestas was wrecked the night before last.....Man United parade passed within 20 feet of where it lives and it was used as a viewing area bu numerous ' fans ' The 62 Zafira with it suffered the same fate, the roofs and bonnets of both cars badly deformed and mirrors, wipers, etc removed. Both cars ' de-fleeted ' and taken off the road.
I had the Fiesta booked for it's first MOT tomorrow........doing it's replacement Corsa now.
Thanks a bunch, lads !
