My 991.1 C2S is going in for its annual oil service tomorrow. Out of the blue today I get an email (I don't believe in coincidences) explaining that due to the 'age or mileage' of my car it will shortly be due for its front brake pads to be replaced. I want to question this as my worry is that they will just be replaced immaterial of how much mileage the pads have left.
My question is, as with tyre tread measurements being legally 1.6mm (worryingly!), what should be the thickness of my front pads, rear pads, front discs and rear discs at the point they should be replaced please? I don't want to leave it until they are 'on the rivets' but equally I don't want to replace them unnecessarily early.
