Haven't got the tools, jack, time or patience admittedly. Though Fontain said if I take the pads to them they can fit em. But what pads?

Also on the brake discs they can do Brembo ones anyone got these on?

 

[rodenal]

I think the OEM Discs are Brembo anyway, if i remember correctly all you need is a torx screwdriver and your done in 5 mins for the pads - honestly dont understand how you can be gettin quoted £248 for pads to be changed, its not even all 4 wheels

Try APS in Brackley if that is not too far from you. Set up by Ed and co ex of AMD. Excellent (and I mean excellent) service and cheap as chips. Website is http://www.autops.co.uk/
