Just got the misus's Golf back from a service. According to the report there's 10mm left on the front brake pads and 12 on the rear. However, I've no idea what that means in real terms - is that getting low or is there still a bit of life in them? It would be nice to replace the pads before scoring the disks for once.

The car's driven quite gently (when I'm not driving it ;) ), but does do a lot of stop-start journeys.

Cheers,
G.

Yeah, the pads new are around 15-21mm, so you still have a bit left yet.
