Took the car in to the dealer for an MOT last week, they very kindly loaned me a courtesy car for the day which was a Rapid. Very nice car apart from the 1.6 diesel unit. I bet they're great with the 1.2 tsi. Anyway I've been informed that my front brakes are 85% worn and the guys can do it at the service which I hope to get sorted after the new year. Trouble is it's £250 for the service + £45 to change the brake fluid, then £262 to replace the front discs and pads. That's an awful lot of money just after xmas.

Skodas national pricing says 209 for front discs and pads. Ask your dealer why he's quoted you nearly 50 quid more!

Hi AndyP

It's indeed a lot of lolly!

Best think of it as an investment and not a cost - still has the same effect on your bank balance but may help your mind to accommodate it all.
