Hi

Have started to play with my XM. First the brakes. Noise from front offside especially on left lock. Front pads not good. The outer pad on each side was down to almost bare metal, inboard pads about 3mm left. Looked like previous fitter had not removed the backing material. Replacement pads from French Citroen dealer 94 euros! Then I find on French Ebay complete set new pads front and rear for 35 euros! Fitting rear pads was a doddle. Front pads tedious as pistons needed almost fully retracting. I don't have special tool so improvised with old spanner, took ages.
Brakes now perfect. So I have set of 4 brand new front pads if anyone interested.

Regards

Sean
