Hi All,

I've just had my 37000 mile service on a 54 reg focus tdci and have
had to have the rear discs and pads replaced. Is this normal mileage?
Other cars I've had have lasted twice as long! There's only about 10%
braking done at the back - made of cotton wool these days or are the
dealers just taking the mick?

thanks for any replies

Simon

Interesting as I too have had a similar experience on my 02 reg 1.8
Ghia with 27k miles. On mine the front discs and pads went, something
was done on the rear drums, there are bits to replace on the front
suspension (another 300 UKP) and this is after a few months back
having both sides of the front stay arm replaced!

So, have I got a lemon or is this normal?
