To be honest I was worried especially with what jack has gone through, so I washed it and took it in to see what happens and lo and behold it passed.

Great news Jack, next time dont go rallying in it. Seriously though a set of brakepads in under 10K miles, its not as though they have had a hard life.

Fantastic service from Shelbourne in getting it sorted for you.

Yeah John I could not fault Shelbourne in any way and highly recommend them for their quality of service. They even took it themselves to the MOT Centre. Certainly for a Renault based van they are excellent.
