AndyC Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yep he's having a laugh mate but I wouldn't be surprised if the price is right. Main dealers for you. The only reason I'm using a main dealer is cos I'm under warranty, my brakes certainly won't be getting done by them thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get12 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 ....so if I replace the pads and discs myself whilst under warranty, what do I invalidate exactly??? Thanks G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Nothing as far as I'm aware, these are perishable items anyway and wouldn't be covered under warranty. My point was don't get it done at the dealer mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its looking less & less likely. Blacky needs to know by Sunday and theres hasn't really been much interest by the looks of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captint Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 It could be worse, when I had an M3 it was £500 for the fronts discs and pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It could be worse, when I had an M3 it was £500 for the fronts discs and pads Not far off Nissans price as they quoted me £173 plus VAT EACH plus £150 for pads plus fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbside*motors Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I think manufacturers have a flick through the aftermarket brake catalogues and if any model isn't mentioned they use the lottery machine to make up the price! Notable examples (The ones I can remember) are... Mitsubishi L200 £72 Chrysler Neon (All models) £93 and anything with Brembo brake calipers seems to attract even higher prices, at one point Mitsubishi used to charge £230 for brake pads for their Evo 8. Seat used to charge £148 for REAR pads for their shi...unimpressive Turbo R Most 350Z obviously suffer from Brembo brake syndrome too. While I have yet to have the joy of driving the brake pads off a Zed (Ban is up in January! ) what about EBC redstuff? While they are not cheap they are usually cheaper than OE and usually better!
