   Hi I have replaced my rear brake pads and disks and greased everything up, but my ns brake pads are wearing more than the other side and the pad that sits in the piston is not contacting the back ov the disk properly it is only contacting the rim ov the disk.does any one know why?

   Try greasing your discs.

   Why do you write 'of' as 'ov'? It doesn't save you any time and makes you look like a bit of a seat sniffer to be honest.

   Good to see that Saxos are still attracting the cream of society. Dialect doesn't dictate grammar you unitard.

    on the pad there a dowel/nipple on the back make sure that is sat correctly in to the pistion other wise pressesure will be uneven, also dont use copper grease on the sliders, use engine oil or high temp grease
