ECP and GSF sell the wear sensors, only a couple of quid, I don't think anyone sells the pads with the sensors complete.

320touring, the sensors are easy to bypass, just join the wires up, half a job way of doing it though! :lol: Do it properly innit!

If I'm buying a car and see things like bypassed wear sensors, then I don't buy car, at least without a heavy discount. It shows a sloppy attitude to servicing, which is probably repeated throughout the car.
