    Bought new pads for the 9-5 year 2000 On putting them on I have found the locating studs on the non-piston pad are fractionally malplaced so that while one goes in, the other won't quite . The gap between the 2 studs is about 1mm too little. The pads are correct according to the box, I've...

    Hi guys and gals Today I changed the pads and discs on the front of my 06MY 1.9Tid vector sport as the discs were lipped. I chose to do the pads as well as I prefer to put new pads on new discs. The old pads still had a fair amount of meat on them and were GM pads. The new are also OEM. When I...

    I changed all disks and pads yesterday, plus a fluid change. The job went well and I am happy with the result. One thing is bothering me though, the handbrake seems to come up much higher than before. I'm not 100% sure as I rarely drive the car as it is my wife's. It does come up a helluva way...

    Over the weekend I fitted new front pads to the Saab 9-3 1.9TiD auto. The old pads were down to 3mm or so. Everything went very smoothly, and although the new pads felt a bit softer than the old at first, things quickly improved and the car pulls up straight and true, the brakes feel powerful...

  17. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    On another issue. Just for information. I was getting a judder through the pedal under heavy braking and decided that the discs may have warped. They were looking a bit old. Having changed the fronts with Pagid spares from Euro Car Parts, the problem was still there. So it had to be the rears...

    Hi I'm looking at fitting new discs and pads to my 9-5 Aero, I have used MTEC (www.mtecbrakes.co.uk) grooved and dimpled discs before with great results. Thinking grooved and cross drilled this time. Anyone had any experience of them on a 9-5 before. Any feedback welcome.
