others may disagree with me, and i wouldnt advice this if i were a cossie owner, but why not go for pads without the sensor, the cheaper makes supply them without the sensor, and it'll encourage you to inspect the brakes more frequently, which isnt a bad thing....

My 24v pads just wore out and there was no warning lights, its best to check them "manually" anyway as the sensor could get damaged or broken and not give warning anyway.

The Scorpio doesn't have sensor for brake pads. I always get asked at ford if i want the sensor one or not.....I think somwhere there's a mistake done....and they have mixed'em up

Just changed the front pads on my Cossie - they had sensor connections but nowhere to plug 'em into - so just cut them off. Dave & Taliban's right - best to check pads yourself.

 with the above.
My rear ones came with sensors couldnt find anywhere to plug them in so they got snipped off.
Using EBC green stuff on the front and find them great for stopping and very little dust on the wheels, which is always a good thing. My front flexis were perished so I did goodridge all round, first time out the seat belt got a good test couldnt believe the difference
