How To ? - Change your Brake Disks Pads Shoes Sensors
Bodsy's Brake Bible
If you are thinking of changing your own Brake Pads or Brake Disks or adjusting your Electronic Park Brake (EPB) then this is the resource for you.
At the request of Martin, I've uploaded Bodsy's Brake Bible to my gallery.
It is still "work in progress" and as it gets updated further, I will update the file/link accordingly.
Also in the pipeline is Bodsy's Service Bible (well for Fluids & filters anyway). The majority of information is already available on here and GTR, but this is my personal collection of photo's and write up based on my MY07 D3.
if anyone has any comments or spots any mistakes or anomolies in it, please let me know by PM if it's a major gaff or on here
Cheers
Ian
EDITED to update the link to V1.6a and include French Version

Congrats Ian, that's a really useful resource.
None of the 'refit is the reverse of removal' as quoted so often from Haynes manuals!

Hi All,
I've made some minor changes (thanks for the feedback spiderbaby )
So we're now on revision 1.2a
Mods, can I add a sign up to this? I can only add a poll.
The aim is that people sign up so that when the bible is updated those that are interested can receive a specific message easily about the update, rather than just when someone replies to the post.
You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum
or on here 
Now how much money can that save people..................Thanks Ian
