x eng brake pads

Looks like it's time to replace the e-brake pads on the 110 now but I just checked out the price of the new pads.....HOLY CRAP!!!!!  37 quid for them!?!?!?!??!      Gotta find out who the supplier is cause those prices are nuts!!!!! >:(

Those calipers are the same ones fitted to JCB telehandlers, not sure if that makes it any easier to find them over here or not

I'll have to source a part number for those and have a look for them.   Thanks! ;)

Okay, I did a little research and the x eng brake pad equivalent from JCB is part #15/920103 (or 478/00849).  Now for the real kicker.....

I thought this would be a 'no biggie' and called our local JCB dealer, here in Edmonton.   Nice folks there ;-)    They had 3 sets in stock and only wanted $193 dollars a set......   HOLY CRAP!!!!!     I can buy genuine from my regular supplier for 37 quid and I thought that was pricey!?!    Well looking online I have found at least 3 JCB part suppliers in the UK that sell them for under 10 quid. 

Bloody stupid oil town mentality here!!!!!!!

cheers, Bill

They should really never wear out.  Everything adjusted properly?  Caliper sliders free?

too much pilot error John ::)

Wow that quite the price difference!

Are you happy with the brake?  Reviews have been really mixed.

I'm not sure it holds as well as a good drum brake but I've been very happy with it!    So much easier to maintain and access then the drum was and I don't have nearly the issues I had with my drum brake on the 110.
