Thanks for the advice.....I think TRW is the way to go, if I can find a local stockist

Hi....thanks for the reply, its as I expected, I have had the pads out, cleaned them and stretched the little sprung clips and it was bliss at first, silence.....but after trip to London and back they are as bad as ever. Any particular brand proved to be the best ?

Hi all... When I bought my mk3 Octy the garage I got it from fitted new pads and disks all round.....happy days. BUT.....now it's been driven for a while the pads have started rattling and knocking, which sounds terrible. From reading some posts on here it seems the cause is the garage fitted cheap pads with weak springs.à9aì I've had the pads out and spread the sprung clips and reinstalled them and the noises went away. After driving for a good gre miles the noises are back. Seems the sprung clips on cheap pads are made of cheese and just get squashed and allow the pads to rattle around in the callipers. So my question is....can anything be done to stop this happening....shims perhaps or will I have to replace the pads with better quality ones Cheers
