Do you have a large amount or a short life expectancy?

I just don't need that much ;)

I thought I wasn't supposed to put grease on my brakes???

Back of the pads. Definitely not the front.

TBH things seem to change but I was always taught that a smear on the back of the pads helped them slide in, and slide out, but also helped with squeal.

It may not be recommended practice any more

I never liked the look of the rough side of the pads so always use the lovely shiny painted side. Mind you I think I need new ones as the stopping distance is shocking at the moment. I will try the copper slip to see if that helps with the grinding noise though.

I'm sure it will, in short order. Apply liberally, obvs. You'll have a lifetime's supply, no matter how little you buy ;)

A late mkI but otherwise looks very nicely spec'd and mint. Asking is adventurous though...

Sorry to kick up the embers of a relatively old thread - can anyone let me know the price V&P were offering this car for? Am looking to get into a QP but it needs to be mint mint and this one seems to be the best out there so a handy guide on price, albeit pre facelift and ideally Id want a 4.7. (not sure I am that bothered as long as its ZF tbh). thanks in advance!
