Changed the front pads and a caliper on my old Leon (now daughters) and found that the new pads had a wear sensor wire on one pad, no where to couple it to so just snipped it off, I can’t remember if I did the same when I last replaced the pads, can only one tell me if the car should have brake wear warning?

Some cars have them and some don't. If you have nowhere to plug the cable into then obviously your car doesn't so don't worry about it.

That was my thought too but I just wondered if they had been there at some time and the wire had been clipped off before I got the car. Cheers.
