    Greetings,

    Just looking at the Advisories on the copen's last MOT - it had : "Rear Brakes imbalanced requirements only just met. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. (1.2.1 (b) (i))".

    I'm guessing I may need a new set of rear pads. Has anyone had this advisory before and if it’s worth pre-emptively buying a set of these before the next MOT to stop having to scramble around for a pair on the day?

    I see there are some "Blueprint" ones on ebay Rear Brake Shoe Set Fits Daihatsu Copen OE 04495B1200 Blue Print ADD64128 | eBay

    All views welcome.
