Brakes bled and all working well on my trip to work. But EBC have finally come back to me (via the supplirr)... they are not aware of why their pads don't fit my car and cannot help further. So I shall be returning to the supplier for a refund. So caveat emptor if you have a late model Plus 4.
Pleased to hear everything is back to normal, Nick. Poor response from ebc though. If they don’t investigate things like this, their reputation will surely suffer. But, a warning to all so thanks for this very worthwhile post.
