Here is (http://www.webbmotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5/) a pad and rotor guide for front and back - should be able to pick out what you want

You should not need to bleed the brakes although you may need to take some fluid out of the master cylinder to avoid the fluid overflowing - a very carefully used a bit of sponge can be used to do this.
Why not try the local tyre fitting place - quick job for them to do brake pads due to their equipment so should not be expensive.

Duncan,

Cheers for the help!!

just taken your advice, and put her into a garage to get it done. . .

first time i've ever had to pay a garage, hence why im so keen to do it myself! (tightfist!)

Got the brakes changed, but the warning light is still lit on the dash!

how do u reset this? or should it have gone off automatically? :disapprove:

theres next to no info on this in mini2 or anywhere else, surely other people have had this!
