Thanks...Just did my first 1k service. Funny thing i ask them to check the spark plugs and we are surprise to see the plugs is actually bad burn. Mechanic was really surprise to see the plugs.

For the brake pads...i decided to wait for the warranty to end and change to a better pads.

bro.. brake pad is wear and tear item. it is not tied to the warranty. unless u touch the braking system (disc, caliper, host, pump, ect ect ).
you can change it anytime... if you are an everyday traveller like myself, after 1 year, the front brake sure habis.. some had it for 6 month.

Guys... my persona 2008 model... got some sort of brake problem...the inner pads finish very fast...like in 10,000 km..
Do I need to get a repair kit for the caliper?.

My mileage is over 40,000km and this is my 3rd brake pads... and always the inner pads burn first...

Reads as though the calipers are slightly jammed, as pads should wear evenly on both sides.

My 32-month-old Persona auto still on it's original pads after 26,000 miles, (41,000 Km)

Not only are your pads being burnt-out, that will also be costing in terms of reduced economy and
performance, so cheaper to get sorted.

Caliper stripdown and clean-up could cure it on it's own, but you might as well fit a repair kit anyway.
