Brake pad wear sensors
Just checking that there is only one sensor at the front and one at the rear. Is this correct. I have just ordered from autodoc and was expecting each wheel to have a sensor!

As Rob says, one on each axle. Makes sense as the brakes are linked pressure-wise so they should wear pretty evenly across the axles.
If both your sensors haven't been used, ie haven't touched the disc, they can be re-used if you are very careful when changing them.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
