Get Your Van Sorted With New Brake Pads — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads? They're the unsung heroes that clamp down on your brake rotors, bringing your commercial van to a halt. Over time, they wear down from all the heat and pressure, especially tough on vans like the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Renault Master that are always loaded up or doing the city stop-start dance. Don't get caught out with dodgy brakes!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you brake.
• Taking forever and a day to stop.
• The whole van's shakin' when you hit the brakes.
• Brake pedal feels softer than butter.
• Pads are lookin' thinner than a cafe lunch napkin (less than 3mm left).
Will it pass WOF?
No way, mate. Worn brake pads are a guaranteed WOF failure here in NZ. You need decent thickness and good stopping power to be road legal.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or debris flying in your eyes. Grab a pair of Safety Glasses.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake fluid and grime. These Nitrile Gloves are the go.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty brake dust and grime before you start pulling things apart. Makes the job much cleaner. Brake Cleaner is your friend here.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins ensures smooth movement and prevents sticking. This is a must-do.
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should never muck around with brakes. Replace those pads the moment they start lookin' suss to keep your braking spot-on, especially on commercial vehicles that need to stop on a dime. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn – I'll help you nail down the exact part you need for your Mercedes-Benz Vito or Renault Master!
Fitment Notes
These pads are made specifically for different Mercedes-Benz Vito models (1997-2003) and Renault Master models (2001-2999). Always double-check the year, engine size, and chassis code of your van to be sure they're the right fit. Brake systems can be different even on the same model. Head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
