Hi All
I was driving through a local village this afternoon (so only about 30mph or less) braking for a T junction and hit what I later found to be a small crater in the road. Almost immediately I got a beep (just the one) from the DIS and the Brake Pad Wear indicator (I think) came on, this symbol (O)
I don't have a receipt for the pads being done in the recent history of the car and I've owned it for 16 months so I was expecting it sooner or later, but I'm a little concerned it happened immediately after a fairly large pothole impact on the nearside front wheel, is there any risk of other more serious damage? Everything felt fine on the drive home, no judders under braking, no other vibrations and no pulling etc so everything seems to be OK but you never know with these things.
In lighter news, it means new brake pads Any recommendations? I've just had a look on AMD's website (because they're local) and they seem to have stopped offering brake pads etc for the 8Ls and replaced everything useful with cleaning supplies??? Any feedback appreciated.
