on average how much would i be looking to pay for a garage to fit new discs if i supply them, how much for the front and rear and how much done separately?

mine are completly gone and have started to squeal really bad and is embarasing! lol

i am in the same boat, just bought some off fleebay and planning on doing mine myself as i have heard its fairly straight forward.

yeaaa im thinking of doing them myself but i dont wana end up getting half way and the discs being hard to remove!

Mintex full rear pads and discs £34 Mintex full front pads and discs £74 You need a caliper piston wind back tool for the rears, and an 8mm hex socket for the the caliper frame bolts. They are tight, and can be difficult to remove. The hex recess in the bolt head is also quite shallow, so easy to round off if not careful. About 2 hours to do the whole lot if getting a garage to do the job.

I did mine about 3 months ago and it took me 4 hours cos the back ones are a total bitch to get off. You have to completely remove the whole caliper and disconnect the handbrake cable which is really fiddly to get back on. only cost £110 for the front & back discs & pads from GSF Car Parts.

It is pretty straight foward to do

only 'specialist' tool needed is a caliper rewind tool available from halfords for £20,

handbrake cable on rear doesnt need removed, all that needs removed is the caliper, the discs squeeze past the carriers, just!! Get a friend to help me and a friend had a race to do my rear discs and pads, only took 30mins

fronts are even easier just push caliper back rather than wind :8

ahh sounds good to me! i think i made my mind up that ill do it myself!

What is the size of the tool/torx needed for the little bolt on the discs?
