yes. what some people keep forgetting is that Ferodo, Mintex, PBR, Lucas (which are Mintex) and others ARE OEM. almost ALL OEM pads on Rovers were Mintex until '02 or '03. i forget now. i bet much still is, but i can't say with certainty.
like i said OE on all DIs was Mintex.
brakes squeel because MOST of the time they are not broken in properly or they don't use the supplied shims, backing pads or antisqueel goo on the backs of the pads.
i can't remember ever having a rover squeel with pads that i have installed. and i have used Mintex 90% of the time. there might be something freakish about DIIs, but i would not hesitate to use any good generic off the shelf brand. installed properly they all seem to work as they should.
people get too wrapped up in the name game or 'genuine' deal. stick with a good brand and if it works..........it works.
