    Or perhaps I read up on the subject and frequent various owners forums.......

    Perhaps, and I'd be interested in the link to the problem.

    I'm with the above, unless the mechanic is going out the back and making the pads, I wouldn't worry. Sometimes ALL pads need a good slathering of copper-grease to make them not rattle so much (more than the usual smear.)

    9/10 "poor fitting" brake pad faults I get from people who "bought cheap pads, now having issues" bring to me is because they didn't clean the hub up, and the disc is skewed by a nice layer of crap between it, and the hub face.
