Brake (non)Retaining Bar

[CDES]

Is it common for the metal retaining bar to disappear and the brakes pad to go with them...

This is the second set of pads I am having to put on in 2 weeks...

It is if it's not fitted right!

I never fitted the first set they've been on the car since I bought it. I guess I never put the clip on the correct way or something similar. I'll have a look and see if there is a guide available.

Check the carrier isn't bent open.
