Brake pad wear sensor

[andicole0]

I'm changing pads, do I need to replace the wear sensor as well?

Only if the pads got down so low that it triggered the brake warning light.

Buy one anyway, it will most likely be corroded pretty badly. £7 on eBay.

Cheers guys.

BTW the £7 ones don't seem to be suitable for the M.

Andi.

There were M ones on there for that price before.

I'll take another look, am I right in thinking there's only one front and one rear sensor?

Andi.

Yes that is correct, my rear one was ok when I changed mine but my front was corroded into the pad and broke when it came out.

Here you go, front £7, rear £10.
