I was going to buy a full mintex kit off ebay to do the front and rear brakes.
Thing is it seems a shame to waste the fairly new ford brake pads that are on there.
Is there any reason that I couldn't clean up the ford brake pads and use them again with the new discs and keep the new mintex pads safe until the ford ones are nackered?
Or am I being tight and should just replace the lot?

Yes ! you will be fine cleaning up the pads, i really don't know what people on here are on about. Ive done this practice for years with my cars and never had any issues at all, sometimes replaced discs and kept older pads prior to an MOT and braking was fine. . Jesus, why spend money for no reason.
