Mini Brake Pads
My girlfriends pads need changing on her 51 plate Mini One.
Does anyone know which ones to get, and where from? She wants front and back.
Thanks a lot

I did the rears on my wifes Mini and it was a ball acher.
A special tool would have been handy but I used lots of patience and swearing and finally wound the pistons in.
The rear pads cost me £30 from a local car spares shop. hth

Nah its easy, you don't 'need' any special tools, you can just use a flat bar to wind the rear pistons in and a G clamp to push the fronts in. Just remember to undue the bleed nipples when doing this as forcing the fluid back up can damage the ABS module, allegedly, then topup

Take the cap off the fluid reservoir though.
