    Is there an easy way to check brake pad thickness on a Zafira?
    I guess taking the wheel off is the obvious way!
    Old style, Life model, diesel. I don;t think it has wear sensors.

    Anyone know what the minumum thickness is please?

    I seem to recall for the MOT "less than 1.5mm" but I don't know if
    that includes the backing plate! Otherwise it's pretty much as long
    as there's enough left.

    Yes, use your eyes to see.

    The haynes bumper book of jokes says:-

    Minimum pad frictional material thickness 2mm, for front & back.

    They don't have wear sensors only acoustic sensors (i.e. a bit of metal that
    rubs on the discs).

    Since I have never heard one I can't tell you what they sound like when the
    pads have gone (as opposed to the normal high pitch squeel they always
    make!).
