    Brake Pad lights

    Normally this means, the pads are worn, assuming the discs are in good nick, th epads are a doddle to change, for a home mechanic around 30mins to 1hour per corner, by the time you jack up the car etc, a caliper wind back tool makes it easy for the front, but a big screwdriver or small prybar...
