Title: Front pad warning !!!
Post by OddJob on Dec 20^th, 2004, 8:21pm

Good Evening Dudes & Dudetts ;D
Please take note:
Having this weekend just replaced my front brake pads and discs' I was horrified having stripped everything down to be confronted with having been sold the wrong pads >:( after some investigation it turns out that despite the listing from suppliers of only one pad available for the 24v it turns out that there may some Scorpio's (presumably late facelifts, though this is unkown ???) with FORD COUGAR V6 calipers and pads fitted :o I spoke to Ford today who were only able to confirm that there was an option for Cougar pads listed for the Scorpio after viewing the Cougar slide. Please check yours before stripment on a Sunday afternoon ;)
I would show you a picture of the two different pads if only I knew how to insert a picture ???

Oddjob.

to insert a picture, first you need to host it on a site such as www.tinypic.com. You just browse using the button, for the picture you want and then click "Host It" It then gives goes through its routine and the page reloads with a box at the bottom containing 3 web-like addresses. If you highlight and then click copy, the one which begins with "[ img]" and ends with"[ /img]" the picture can then be inserted into the posting box you fill in to send a post to here. Just click the preview button before you submit and you will be able to see what it will look like. I would be interested to see the pictures you have.

PS, If the pictures are pretty big, just post the link from tinypic which is the normal www.****.jpg and we can look at it on their site
