Wait until then in that case. Unless they are really bad, they will clean up very quickly when you use them so it's not worth arsing around cleaning them. If the discs are really shitty then they might be worth changing anyway.________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.

ECP are cheap but those useless tards always give me the wrong parts.  Not sure if they are incompetent or if they just do it to spite me.  ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans.

Really, I found them excellent personally. I ordered two sets of pads by mistake, not realising I only needed 1, and they refunded me no hassle and the parts arrived very quickly.________________________________________ 340 horses |

They sort the problems out eventually but more often than not, the parts I've ordered have not been what they've given me. Probably just my local branch that's useless.  ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans.

Got home and opened the boxes and one had a Boge damper for a f*cking Corsa or something in it.  Some dunce had put it in what was obviously the wrong box and then taped it back up. Thanks for that. ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans. I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |
