Brake pads

[ScottishGrenadier]

Wondered if anyone had found any non genuine Grenadier brake pads for the front and rear calipers? I have tried tracking some down but have consistently drawn a blank so I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried?

I thought they were Brembo pads, can't you get them direct from them.

EBC do them. About £90 front and £60 rear.

Interestingly of you click on fitment in the product description the pads appear to be as fitted to a french made van branded Nissan/Opel/Vauxhall etc.

The fact that these pads also fit another vehicle shouldn't be a problem, as Ineos certainly hasn't reinvented the wheel and uses parts that are already available on the market. I know the picture of the EBC pad is just an example. However, if the EBC pads have a retaining spring at the rear, they might not fit. Especially if there's only one spring at the rear, as the Ineos' front brakes have a dual-piston caliper. Someone should order some and compare them.

I ordered some last night so will keep you posted. A friend of mine had his Grenadier serviced and the pads fitted at the Ineos service centre were a hefty price.

Brake pads arrived yesterday no clips on the back of them so look correct. Service tomorrow so will see if the Service Center is happy to fit them.

I think you also need what % of that is towing.

Vehicle is in for its third service at 39,000. Might not need brake pads just being careful. The Grenadier is used off road so traction control and hill descent control take their toll on the pads.

My brake pads also arrived today. If they do not fit, I calculate the costs under experience.

Service completed and brake pads are still fine so no replacement required. Will have to wait until next service to find out if they fit!
