  1. Scotland could become the first nation to ensure free universal access to pads and tampons source: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/27/europe/scotland-free-period-products-bill-trnd/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_source=twCNN&utm_medium=social&utm_content=2020-03-01T09%3A01%3A02 (CNN)Scotland has moved to become the first nation to make tampons and pads free. The Scottish parliament advanced legislation on Tuesday that would ensure free universal access to tampons, pads and other menstrual products, in a huge stride for the global movement against period poverty. The Period Products (Free Provision) Scotland Bill passed through the first stage with 112 votes in favor and one abstention. No one opposed the bill. "Women and girls are too often left behind in the political process," Monica Lennon, who introduced the bill last year, said during the debate. "This is a chance to put them first and do something that is truly groundbreaking on gender equality." Lennon also acknowledged transgender and non-binary people, adding that the bill was designed to be inclusive of everyone who menstruates. The bill now moves to the second stage, where members of the Scottish parliament can propose amendments before it is given final consideration in stage three. The bill aims to tackle period poverty, stigma around menstruation and the impact that periods have on education. "Menstruation is normal," Lennon said. "Free universal access to tampons, pads and reusable options should be normal too." One in 10 girls in the United Kingdom have been unable to afford period products, according to a 2017 survey from Plan International UK. The survey also found that nearly half of all girls aged 14 to 21 are embarrassed by their periods, while about half had missed an entire day of school because of them. "For some reason, period products are regarded by some as a luxury, a luxury for which women should be charged," Alison Johnstone, a member of parliament, said during debate. "Why is it in 2020 that toilet paper is seen as a necessity but period products aren't?" The Scottish government has made other efforts to tackle period poverty in the last few years. In 2018, the government announced that students in schools, colleges and universities across the countries would be able to access sanitary products for free, through a £5.2 million investment. In 2019, it allocated another £4 million to make period products available for free in libraries and recreational centers.
  2. Hi guys, Anyone can recommend where can I change my front brake pads? I believe they need to be replaced. My car is Honda Civic FD4. And my tyres are producing sounds when I drive at higher speed. Normally the sounds will come out when I drive above 80/90km/h. Is it because it needed to do tyre rotation or alignment? Please share the info if you know. Thank you so much

  5. Need to change brake pads for my Altis soon. Normally go to Riverview in AMK for servicing, but am staying in Bt Batok. Don't feel like travelling all the way to AMK to change brake pads. Any workshop in the West area to recommend ? Am looking for original Toyota brake pads. Thanks in advanced.
  6. Anyone knows which workshop does this service and how much does it cost? The screeching is damn irritating.
  7. Hi all, anyone here using the above mentioned? Any review to contribute? Good or bad reviews all welcome, thanks
  8. for mid size toyota cars? any workshop to recommend? looking to change pads and maybe rotors. any brands of pads to recommend? want something grippy, Noise, dust, fast wear is ok. Had wanted to order from overseas but cannot be sure that it would fit.
  9. What brake pad can I change to on a 05 or 06 Vios. Left two yeas left but need to change coz I tried the car recently and the stopping is terrible. Will not vbe doing braided hose as that would be too much effort. Fluid have been changed a few times. I am suspecting brake pads, I have sprayed brake cleaner with no improvement. What pads can I buy? I hope to get some better pads and brake dust or rotor wear is fine.
  10. So on my E60 523i, I changed new brake pads recently but left the old rotors on, as they still had lots of life left. The problem was the squeal when driving slowly (not braking). I read up on this phenomenon and it appeared that the new pads were not sitting on the backing very well, because of dirt and dust over the years. And while this does not cause friction against the rotors, it is the vibration of the brake pads and the backing that causes harmonics and hence, these squeals. One of the methods recommended was to drive till 80 or 100 kmh and then brake violently till stop. Do it 5 times (or so they said) and the squeal will be gone cuz the new pads will be seated properly then. I tried it and it worked! No more squeal. There are other methods which require taking out the pads again, cleaning the back of the pads and the backing, and then greasing the back of the pads and putting duct tape on them etc but they were a waste of time I thought. This was the easiest and fastest way, but do it somewhere safe.
  11. As per topic.. Anyone using this type of brake pads for their ride?

  16. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1169304/1/.html I'm rather amazed why the enforcement officers can discover this... Just because it's a pirated taxi? What was the trigger to check the pads?
  17. Just like to share a good experience on change of brake pad, my car is a 2009 Isis, one of the headaches i face is that it's supposed to be a WISH but it's not really a WISH since some parts are different and since its not too common, i do worry about getting the right parts. Anyways been going regularly to the same workshop in the north for some time, last 2 visits at 40K & 50K been getting asked to change pads and skim rotors. I kind of dragged my feet on this and actually dreading it..with the cost of it and how change of ATF, spark plugs etc coincided.. At 70K, i went to another workshop nearer my house (Pasir Ris) same story change pad and skim Price quoted very similar = $230- $250 for brake pad Skimming =$70-$120 I decided to do more research on the internet....more confused and worried...ISIS vs WISH which brake pad...and in terms of rotors more. Discovered some good toyota stockist. Eventually went with Ric -Tat at Owen road...very nice experience there. Confident with price of purchase and also correctness of part!!... Brake pad= $65 Rotors =$210 for a pair Surfed around internet and read about Seng Long at Bukit Merah Lane 3...called and spoke to the boss Alan. Agreed on a price..went down. Was well pleased when i got there no big crowd on a saturday afternoon...his mechanic Ah Wing worked on my car. He worked with focus on my car. I asked them to inform him if i needed to replace rotors, he touched them look carefully and said my rotors were in good shape!! he even told me my rotors were not possible to do a skim...too thin my model. Was impressed by the honesty Brakes pads were fitted, all the old dust from the old pads cleaned up. Later he checked once both sides changed My brake pads according to the mechanic could go a little more, he showed me the part(like a clip spring) that would cause noise once worn down!! anyways, he said it was a good time to change but my rotors could wait longer. I was just happy to get the job done by honest no nonsense honest workshop and look forward to doing more jobs with them! guess..with all the push to skim rotors and change pads at 40K made me bit disappointed with the regular place...i doubt they even open up my tyre to check...after fitting the new pads Ah wing cleaned a lot of old dust from my brakes!! Anyways just to share my saving experience...i have set of spare rotors may try to exchange for something else at Ric-tat or just keep since with the current COE...my car will surely get thru the current rotors
  18. Hi besides local agent, where to purchase Hawk brake pads locally? Tks
  19. Hi all, My car has been under warranty with Khang Auto for the last one year plus. Just 25000km ago, Khang Auto at Sin ming advised me to change the brake pads to my car. I willingly said ok (as it is a safety issue). Now, 25000kms later, I hear a squeaking noise whenver I brake the car. I am puzzled as to why the brake pads wear out so fast. I went to the authorised agent of the car (I did not go back to them as Khang Auto will void warranty if i service the car elsewhere) and they advised me that the brake pads have worn out! Throughout my driving career (though not very long, about 9 years now), I have not heard of brake pads wearing out so soon. For peace of mind, I went ahead to change the front and rear discs and brake pads with the authorised agent. After that,I wanted to clarify with Khang Auto if they actually changed the brake pads...and guess what the manager there told me..."I checked with my technician and brake pads normally wear out at 25000kms" This is really crap...I am not some F1 driver and I know that brake pads wear out around at least 40000kms. I cannot say for sure that Khang Auto did not change the brake pads for me...but I am highly suspicious of them. Please....just a warning that you patronise them at your own risk. And to think that they actually do this kind of job for a safety issue, it reflects on how they think for their customers.
  20. Hi guys, I have recently removed my P plate from the windshield, however the sticker pads with the velcro are still stuck on the glass, my concern is that, if I use force and pull out, my solar film would be damaged as well.. Anyone has a good solution to removing them? Thank you for your help.
  21. Is $400 reasonable for a pair of new brake pads plus rotor skimming due to uneven wear ?
