Question

There to be a warning light when your brake pads are low ??

I rekkon I must be pretty near the metal, and am waiting for the warning light, although it dawned on me earlier that if it aint got one I will ruin my disks.

Anyone know if it will warn me ?

Olly.

Thumbs up

The pads have built in audible indicators that believe you me will let you know under heavy braking when they need replaced

Not sure about the rear ones though

I don't remember seeing an electrical connection on the pads, so I don't think they have a warning light. They are supposed to screech a hell of a lot tho!

No warning light, but a noise you can't ignore when braking.

The pads have a scraper that scrapes on the discs when the pads are low , you WILL hear it !!
