Front and Back brake pad wear sensor replacement
Does any one have any photos of how to change and were does it go to the brake pad wear sensor
I have been told that my pads are low on service
I have not had the pads low on the display in the car yet
Some photos of how to remove wheel cover to get to the plugs i have been told that the front is a hard job to charge the sensor

If you can wait a few days to get them from Yeovil Landrover (The Large One) on this forum he'll gt front and rear pads and the sensors for a great price.
Easy to do them yourself although the front sensor connector is a bit of a pain, just a bit awkward, not impossible Bodsys Brake Bible

changed my pads all round at 25k. Disks are still OK though.
I expect they'll be OK for the next 25k as well, but will keep an eye on them Bodsys Brake Bible
The sensor works buy wearing through and connecting a circuit. So as already said, if not triggered (ie worn through) you can safely re-use. No problem "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

A handy tool to pull those clips out, made from a flat, straight nose
pliers, heated tips and bent to suit.
My sensors just crumbled when I tried to remove them, just as well I
got new ones with the pads.

I think it works in reverse....when they wear down they go open-circuit. They don't earth through the disks.2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG
