ben hudson Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 Hi, a few days ago on the dash a orange light appeared it has a round circle with 3 small lines on the left of the circle and 3 small lines on the right of the circle (very similar to the brake pad warning light but the brake shoe line in this case is 3 small lines)I have looked in the hand book and can not find it, the person i spoke to at ford was hopeless (i wonder if he knew what a galaxy was).please help if you can, at the moment it is orange, but if it goes red?????Thanks Ben Quote
insider Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 Sounds like your brake pad wear warning light. It means you need to change your brake pads because they've worn down to the minimum. Quote
NikpV Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) well probably not the minimum some wear will be left - just had it come on and there is still 3 to 4mm left on the rears (9 to 10mm on the front) Edited September 28, 2007 by NikpV Quote
insider Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 So they give you plenty of warning then - minimum wear limit is 1.5mm! Quote
NikpV Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 appears so - I had all the wheels off at the weekend to have a look at pad and disc wear, I cant believe that the rear discs have lasted 85k just above 8mm now - fronts were changed about 40k ago but have hardly worn (were 26mm now 25.3 measured with a micrometer in a dozen places Quote
