[Rovernet] 2000 TC girling 16p front brake pads

[magnet at ican.net]

A word of caution might be in order here.  I needed new front pads for 
my 3500S and bought two varieties listed by Rock Auto under their Rover 
listing.  Neither were satisfactory. The first set, when they got hot, 
smelt strongly of rotting fish.  The second set were noisy -- would 
squeal reliably when warm.  I did a bit of research and found that pads 
with identical dimensions were used on contemporaneous Mercedes 230 and 
some Volvo models. Looking for replacements on Rock Auto under those 
marques yielded Raybestos PG D4 -- I ordered a set of these and they 
have been entirely satisfactory.
