Excuse the delay, have been away. I'm 99% they are all original pads and discs (I'm the second owner] and the car has never been inside so yeah, it sits around and has only done 47,000 miles. It's weird because my MOT (only) centre never picked up on this, maybe they don't because it was working on 'that day'? I couldn't manage to see anything with a mirror on the other side of each wheel, so i'll have to invest in some axle stands to inspect properly.

It's probably been seven years since that change, so probably not a bad idea. Is this on par with discs and pads change in terms of difficulty?

Thanks. Does that mean Bosch, Eicher, Pagid etc are bad and ATE are good? Sorry, I don't know what the original products might be.

Thanks, will try and check the other side. Out of interest, front pads on https://www.eurocarparts.com/ are coming up £20-50, albeit with a sale. Is this an ok place to buy from? Quite a difference to £140 a set, though I'm not bourgeois enough for wear indicators 😩

Ah I see, thanks. Guess the garage could see something I couldn't when they took the wheel off.

Hi, my garage recommended new discs and pads "before next long trip" which sounded a bit serious. From the photos (yeah the wheels are filthy) does this sound right? Looking at https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/232066-changing-discs-and-pads/ I'm thinking of investing in a few more tools and doing it myself as parts seem about £20-30 each, rather than £200+ at the garage. I also need to do a couple of other things so might be worth the investment. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks 🙂
