I put new pads on the 1982 300sd about 9 months ago. They were not Mercedes textar pads. I bought them before I knew textars were best. They came from a euro parts dealer. They were his best pad. They have given no problems or noise when stopping. I also replaced the wear indicators.

Yesterday, my brake light started flickering. I know that means the wear indicators are letting me know its time for pads again.

How long should I typically get out of a set of pads? Do you get more than 10 months out of textar pads? Would like to know. I do a combination of city and highway driving 50/50.
