So not much updates this year! As shocking as it sounds, the car has mostly been super reliable and no issues to report.
However a few weeks back the brakes starting squealing quite a bit, followed shortly by the pad wear warning appearing. After verifying the sensor loop had actually been worn through sent off some emails for pricing.
Needless to say the prices I got back from Lambo nearly had me falling off my chair...
Front pads £1650
Rear pads £1700
Park brake pads £1300
A quick search found a set made by Pagid that fit the Aventador, this is their RSC1 compound which I had previously on the GTR so know it has immense stopping power. A quick shop around and some haggling, managed to secure both sets of fronts and rears for £1000 all in.
Obligatory pictures.
While on the ramp, a good opportunity to check joints and bushings for play or signs of wear. Fortunately all good there.
The old pads, you can see the pins which start to make a lot of noise when they start to wear.
While there, also had the brake fluid replaced (once again with SRF) and the AC recharged.
Total cost... still cheaper than lambo for any of the pad options
