As I have recently been made redundant :( , and cash is very tight, how difficult is replacement and how does one go about it.

Sorry if this has been done elsewhere, and, if it has can some one point me in the right direction.

Ta muchly in advance.

it's fairly easy with the right tools.... might be worth getting yoursef a haynes manual for the mk4 golf.... they have the same brakes etc, and it gives you a guide on how to change them with pictures

Front or rear, give us a clue.

DUH!! Sorry, I think both sets ned replacing, fronts and rears.

you'll need a doo-dah to wind back the rear brake calipers then!

Can tell you pads + disks from GSF are about £150 for the lot(Brembo + Pagid). The winder tool is about £12 and an impact driver another £12. Think you also need a hex bit (7mm for FS III no idea for the vrs brakes i am affriad).

I had a really hard time getting the front discs off my car, but that has a slightly different setup to yours.
