My brake pads have recently started squealing when cold. Think I'm right in saying this means I need new ones. Assuming I should look at changing all four, not just fronts? Any recommendations on type, brand or supplier?

Just got a set of milners , seam ok for the price , unless you want to upgrade ? these are standard pads

Am interested in pro's / con's of upgrades, yeah.....

Drums on the rear. That's standard isn't it?

yeah , always do me pads first , wait a few weeks and then do the shoes (just my way , not always right but works for me !)

The way to look at it is like Kev says do the worst ones first and give a couple of weeks to bed in then do the others.Last thing you want in a 2t truck is to have to do an emergency stop and find the brakes are still bedding in and not stopping you like you expected

Live Dangerously! Don't do them for another month then do them all at once, just make sure your insurance is up to date . :-)

Mine are squeeling and yet all are fine.

I did the fronts as I thought it was them, but thy were only half worn, but changed em anyway, checked rear shoes and they had loads of life left too, so cleaned roughed em up adjusted and re fitted.

Still get the squeel though and sounds like its coming from the rear, any one else suffer from this ??

my first set of pads was required at 94k, the rear shoes were still near good as new - learn to use your gearbox not your brakes

My pads and discs need done badly. Shoes still look new but pads are getting really thin though lol

should not cause undue clutch problems, again original clutch untill the engine went pop, did not look overly worn either, clutch cyl fluid had never been changed or topped up and was only about 1/4 inch down from original

I would check the friction material left on the pads before ordering, they may be ok for awhile yet BUT the squeeling could be the pads abit seized in the carrier slider OR the actual sliders pins themselves seized. Only changed what needs changed or it gets expensive.
