Honda Accord 2004 - Brakes & Discs
Kev Howell 15 April 2005 17:23:50
	Hi all, I'm after some advice as I'm a novice when it comes to car maintenance. I have a 2004 Honda Accord 2.2 I-CDTI Exec and I got the car serviced in Jan 05 at 12,500 miles. Whilst it was at my local Honda dealer I was informed that my brake pads and discs where 70% worn and needed to be replaced, front and rear. The small sum for this would be ВЈ675 UK pounds. I was shocked to say the least and told them that I would continue to use the car until they where 95% worn. I have the car today on 21,000 miles and the original brakes are fine, but how can I check how long they have left as I have zero trust with what my dealer has been telling me. Also how long should I expect to change my brake pads and discs? Many thanks, Kev

Also how long should I expect to change> my brake pads and discs?> How long is a piece of string? How fast your pads wear depends upon your driving style and the types of road you drive down. I hardly put any wear on mine because I hardly need to use the brakes..mainly rural A roads with plenty of slowing down on engine braking. The only way to judge the discs accurately is to measure their thickness with calipers and a micrometer and check it against manufacturers recommended tolerance. Oh, and ВЈ675 is a rip off. Take it to any non francised garage for replacement discs/pads as its not really a complicated job. -- Conor "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." O.Osbourne.

My 96 Accord still has the original discs on at 120k. If your discs are really more than 75% worn then there's either something wrong with your brakes or something wrong with the way you use them! Pads is another matter of course. Do you have a branch of Protyre near you? http://www.protyre.co.uk/ They have always been happy to do a brake check for me and they've always come in cheaper than anywhere else I know in the SW for brakes (and exhausts for that matter). You could ring them for a quote anyway. Aside: I still haven't found anywhere other than Honda who are prepared to change the discs on my 96 Accord Wagon. The discs are the top-hat type where the disc is behind the wheel hub. Apparently the rather physical process of dismantling this usually results in the wheel bearing being destroyed and an unhappy customer with a bigger bill. There is an alternative method for these Accords (http://tinyurl.com/2bbye 182k PDF) but most garages aren't interested in anything other than whacking it hard with a slide hammer. I would hope that Honda resolved this issue by the time your Accord came out! HTH, Al

Also how long should I expect to change> my brake pads and discs? That does sound a bit steep. They often need replacing around 20-25k though. However, it's usually only the rear discs that need doing. Where are you located?

	The message <3ecce2b.0504150523.2cf38749@posting.google.com> from kev_howell@yahoo.com (Kev Howell) contains these words: Also how long should I expect to change my brake pads and discs? As long as a piece of string. I can get 40k out of a set of pads without trying hard 'cos I don't often use the brakes. I know people in the same car who can't get 15k because they use them a lot. Discs are very variable but don't seem to last as long these days because of changed pad compounds and heavier cars. As for the cost - outrageous. Have a look at http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/ Parts for the front appear to be under Ј100 a bit less for the rear - though I'm not sure exactly which model yours is. Don't assume that because they don't list one they don't do it - email them and they're very helpful. -- Skipweasel. In the beginning was the word. And the word was Aardvark.

	Honda prices can be rather shocking it has to be said, I've had occasion to need parts for honda power equipment ie mowers and small generators and i seem to remember the price for the 10 kw3 cylinder diesel genset oil, oil filter and air filter kit was nearly Ј400.00 list! other expamples of honda pricing are a very cheap and nasty box type plug spanner listed at about 10.00 quid plus another 9 for the T bar handle! With this we are talking kit you'd see down the pound shop!

Parts cost was about Ј80 from http://www.brakeparts.co.uk . Only problem was that the pad springs in the fitting kit didn't fit, so had to reuse the old ones. -- Richard Sampson mail me at richard at olifant d-ot co do-t uk
