Rear ones - although it says fronts in the listing at one point.
Normally I like buying from people who can't spell Citroën, on the grounds that they're probably thick and deserve all they get, but I'd want to make sure first that my £1.97 got me all four pads, not just one...

Do rear pads ever wear out on a BX?!!

I've never managed it! About 70,000 miles on the current set!

My tgd currently showing 104k, no sign of ever having the rear pads changed acc to service history, tho 3 sets of fronts have been fitted, unless you are always carrying lots of rear end weight the rear brakes do very little work, the td had rear pads about 60k back and will prob go that again before changing. Recently saw bx rear discs bnib on a 99p start.

Tenner including post isn't all that cheap, last ones i bought were £7.50 inc, saved enough for a pint of fine cornish ale!

Discs tend to wear out before pads - or rather rust away. Pads and calipers tend to gradually corrode together until the pads are stuck, so rear calipers end up doing even less than usual, except for one violent effort at MoT time during the brake test. The rest of the year they don't move at all, so the disc never self-cleans, so it falls apart.

Agree with that! Mine were about the same price. Did the discs at the same time @ £6.95 each, bought local, no exorbitant delivery charges.

Yes, i've changed mine this year, i'm sure i did them about 4-5 years before as well. You need to drive hard & brake even harder
