Car is a 2001 Y reg Citoen Saxo 1.1i 3 door.
Checked the disc pads and they are worn so I thought I would replace them (a first time replace). Is there a manual I can buy to cover this model? Haynes have one for models up to 2001 but not with the smoothy roundy headlights which my car has. Anybody know if this one will do at least for brakes.
I took the pads out on one side to make sure I ordered the correct ones. At the top of the pad, sitting between the top pad lug and the caliper is a thin L shaped piece of metal with two holes at either end. One hole had a split pin in it the other didn't. Is that the way it should be? Now I didn't get a chance to take off the other front wheel to check if this was the case (I should have I know but...).
I'll find out next weekend when I'll change the pads on both sides but in the meantime.....
Regards
Andrew

Hello Andrew
Welcome to the forum. Prepare to give up all thoughts of career advancement, relationships or other pursuits while you goof off to Andyspares to see what everyone else is up to.
As far as split pins go - when I did my mate's Xantia, the L-shaped bar only had one split pin in it too. It seems to work, whether is is meant to be like that is another question. But if you are worried, just pop another pin into the empty hole
Don't worry about the signature, just making a point about cycling...
