Hi, anyone know if the front brake pads 2005 Ford Focus Mk 2 1.6 TDCi
110PS are different from any normal pads in profile? Reason i ask is
that was getting tyres rebalanced and was shown pads on front that
looked a bit thin after 15000 miles, have had the car about two months
so previous owner had done around 14k. Read somewhere that they may
have a dome shaped profile so appear thin at edges but still have
plenty of thickness in centre and only way to tell is to remove em to
check? Sounds crazy but 14k on one set of pads means previous owner was
really working the car but it has no appearance of being driven hard
and is very clean in condition.

TIA

Sounds odd because that would could mean pads every year?

Having checked the forums there does not seem to be many complaining of
excessive wear of pads thats why I wondered if the tyre spot I went to
knew what they were talking about.

Are you absolutely sure that the displayed 14k miles was genuine?

OK, in that case it must have been driven quite hard, and mainly in traffic.

I'm fairly hard on brakes, but pads last 25k and disks 50k on my Focus.
