Just wondering if anyone knows where i can get some rear brake pads from. mine have gone today and i need some tomorrow. I know halfrauds do the front pads but does anyone know if they do the rear?! or of any places that will be open that i can get them from?! maybe toyota?!
any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Phil.

toyota wont be open tomorrow and wont stock them. halfords may have them, but they wont be listed for a starlet i doubt, that is about the only place open on a sunday.

they wouldnt have completely gone just like that, one more day wont hurt as long as your not planning on doing loads of miles with alot of braking.

that would be amazing mate. do you know anywhere that would be open tomorrow that stock them?! do you know if halfrauds stock them or is it a case of specially ordering them from somewhere? i cant believe it. if it had happened this morning or tomorrow night it wouldnt be a problem. but tomorrow everywhere that i know that stocks them are closed.

70 miles to bolton and 70 miles back, both ways over snakes pass... so braking is important, also motorway miles, if im gonna need my brakes all of a sudden its going to be hard on them.
its not quite a grinding yet, more of a high pitch squeek, gonna go round the block in a min to make sure its not just water or grit etc that stuck in them.

tbh you probably wouldnt notice if you didnt have rear brakes.

get the car up in the air and check the life left on the pads, might be fine.

yea but will these motor factors be a) open on a sunday, i know my local one wont, and dont fancy the drive into the centre of sheff and back if they are buggered.
and b) present me with a shiney new set of rear pads when i say glanza v? or i am to find cars with the same pads and quote them!?

I forgot that minor detail that it was a Sunday tomorrow my apologies. Other than that theres no way you'll be able to get a set.

Thats the 1 mate ,just a pointer if you do install new rear pads ,make sure to pump your brakes after installing the new pads before tighting the handbrake so the pistons are evenly matched and the handbrake will working correctly on both calipers ,i missed this and failed my NCT(MOT) because of this

I think I have some spare rear pads in the house that came off my EP82 when I changed the calipers. Still in good nick.
