First full set of pads changed at 15k, 2nd set have done 25k and still have plenty of wear left as do the discs. Possibly they changed the compound of the pads so they last longer  The End

24000k service. 3mm left on front pads, they changed pads and machined the discs. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

just bought TDV6 x spec with lots of toys (orignially dealer demo) and they changed all the pads at 27k (£745 for a 30k service!!!) without being asked - used to have a series III lightweight - so this is a definite improvement!!!
