Just hauled my Vitesse from Somerset up to a club tour of Cumbria and back to Stratford on Avon for the Triumph Sports Six Annual show and then home and the XC60 did not miss a beat and now in excess of 100k. It would appear they like being flogged! |

Rear brake pads change at 32k miles
During second service, just had a call from the main dealer advising my rear brake pads are 80% worn with 3mm remaining and should be replaced.
This did surprise me as a gentle driver and given the fronts are only 30% worn. As price is £240 vat inc to replace the rear pads, I've decided to check and monitor them myself but was advised the job involves a computer input to enable the work, so not a job for the owner to complete ! I wonder if the AWD has bigger rear brakes that do not wear so quickly ? Is there a way I can replace the pads without a computer?

for rear brakes wearing more than the front been amechanic and having found out that car with auto curise control( car slows down and speeds up again) uses the rear brake to slow the car down gently and dose explain why the rear wear more than the front.
if you want change the rear pads your self you can use a couple options. 1 take the motor of the back the calpier and wind it back that way make sure you have the brakes in the off first. 2 get a computer from ebay or amazone or outher online retailer that would allow you to wind the rear brakes right off. 3 buy your self a vida set up. then you can get your vida to do it. or use softwear called d5t5 with i think wind the pads off as well |

It is my understanding that one reason that the rear pads wear relatively quickly is due to the rear brakes being used by the vehicle VSA/ESC system to 'trim' the vehicle during hard cornering, etc.

Yep, I used the battery method.
I used an old car battery and a length of old cable but I believe it will work just as well with a 9v PP3 battery. Just contact the terminals, it whirs away for about 10 seconds and then you can push the pistons in with a g clamp or similar. If you connect it the wrong way, you just hear a slight noise of the pads tightening up as if you were applying the handbrake, so just reverse the connections. When you put it all back together, pressing the brake pedal and operating the handbrake a few times resets it all and job done.
