Brake pads - I need some new ones
My brake pads need replacing very soon. I've searched the archives for recommendations which seemed less productive than I'd hoped. My car is unlikely to see a track so OEM's should suffice. My faith in dealers is next to non-existent, so I will employ someone competent to fit them.
Question is, is there any other pad worth considering over OEM? And where should I look to purchase OEM or said others from?
Thanks in advance

Try bluepoint pads (I think this is the brand - if not it sounds very similar - these are OEM pads in different packaging) from Camberley Autofactors:

I Found these on Ebay even if you dont need tha back ones, you could keep them until they need changing, MINTEX is a good brand and that seams a very good price for both sets

Thanks for the replies. If you knew of my experience of dealers yhen youd understand my complex
I have an MOT pending end of June. Booked into a local dealer near to my parents. On the phone I told of my poor dealer experience and wasnt best please to learn that their MOT bay had yet to be certified and so was a chance theyd need to take it somewhere local that they used.
Forgive me for being twitchy of a dealer taking my car somewhere else, local, for an MOT. I am sure it will be fine. Just a litte paranoid.
