Halfords have stopped selling the kits aswell as the pads now.

How are you fitting them? I've had 306's for a few years now and not lost any yet. I've seen people fit them all sorts of ways round etc but this way seems to work. Any motorfactors should be able to give you a kit, ferodo number is FBA504  ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

What the f*ck is that? For a start your springs are the wrong way up and the locking bar shouldn't pass beneath them.I've fitted mine exactly as per the FAQ and never ever had a problem, I can't understand how people f*ck it up. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

All the pug's I've come across have them this way, like fronts on 106's etc. The springs are held tighter this way even tho I doubt they actually do anything. Like I said tho, never lost any pads like this.________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

Re-reading my sentence I guess I make it sound like the bar is on the wrong part! ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

the springs will of course be at the bottom on the front of a 106, but the bar at the top, as the caliper is the other way up ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
