T3 genuine pads were made by Lucas and are obsolete, yet still available :D

TBH there isn't much out there for brakes that can compare to genuine......cheap substandard parts have been around for years, the rubbish I've fitted to my own cars trying to save a few quid only to have to do the job again a few months later..
Squealing brake pads/shoes, warped drums and discs it's such a lottery.
But posing as genuine..... :shock: and turning out to be unsafe...
