Just spent £80 on a new pair of front discs/pads only to have them squeeking the day after! Tell me I didn't screw up braking too hard too early and burnt the pads out

Is this just them wearing in or what

[Jonezy]

youve glazed the pads,

take em out and rough em up with a file/ grinder, make sure you keep em flat tho.

next time brake gently if possible - granted emergency stops are necessary sometimes.

do a series of stops gradually getting harder from low to higher speeds and they should " bed " in quicker"

If not, make sure the backs of the pads have copper slip on them. I've had problems previously from the lack of this.

So they're not gonna sort themselves out? Damn, looks like I'm go nna have to do something today!

I'd start by looking at the amount of copper slip applied to the pad backs as many garages skimp and almost wave the pad over the tin and that's about as much as they get

As said above you need copper slip on the back of the pads

Do I go to a garage to get that? Or can I get some at the car shop?

You can get that any motor factor's or hardware shop just take the pads off then put some on the BACK of the pads don't get it on the front of the pads
