Does that actually mean when they wear out they replace them for free though ?

Yes .....I doubled checked it to make sure!
You get a certificate that's validated to the car and it's for life apparantly

There's probably a catch where you have to get the pads replaced at the dealer, therefore having to pay the labour.  :P

That was my first thought I see it as 1hour at full price!

Yes there is a labour charge but free pads as they do this deal at ford and there's also a tyre thing going on but I wouldn't trust any dealer as they charged a customer 130 for a 30 tyre which was meant to be a Michelin.
