Would not think dust/heat would be a major problem here otherwise all cars would be affected in this way. I have a relative who owns a small Hyundai Accent neary at 100,000 Klms (60,000 miles) and don't think he has even changed brake pads yet. I suppose it's driving style and perhaps the Saab being a heavier car maybe ? > Thanks for the detailed run-through. > > > I'm not in the U.K > > We'll let you off with a warning -- this time. :-) Whew !
