I've just had a quote for replacement of rear discs and pads, near and offside rear hoses, and the nearside rear caliper (if necessary - possibly seized), and fluid flush. (it's a 306Hdi)£45 for the flush £96 for the rear pads £125 for the rear discs £80 for each hose £154 for the caliper if needed. Is this a reasonable quote or should I look elsewhere? |

Thosed prices are just obscene. I can recommend the Mintex box set (ie rear discs and pads) which can be had for less than £45 delivered. ________________________________________ Cheers,Rob |

Very steep, And knowing most service stuff at Halfords is cheap the mark up on that is as bad as the 'Kays or Littlewoods'Flush whats that all about. I'm impressed they knew about the callipers thou as the bleed nipples which often snap off meaning a new calliper so bear that in mind. But as said all that should come in around £150.00, Disc's £30.00 Pads £21.00 Hose's £16.00 Dot 4 Brake Fluid 1L £5.00 S/H Calliper £25.00 Labour £45.00 (Hour ish) Total £142.00 (Close to est) ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Fluid flush is just the way they've presented a change of brake fluid to him Miles.You could get that lot done at a smaller garage much cheaper, or better yet learn to DIY and do at least the pads and discs yourself and get a garage or a skilled friend to do the hydraulics. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Biggest stumbling block will likely be siezed rear bleed nipples. These will cause you grief if you snap one off so investigate local availability of rear calipers before you start the job. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Just ordered the pads and discs from BPB for £38, need the hoses from Swampy and will have a look at the calipers when I take the lot over to Hovis. My plan is to watch and learn and end up doing as much DIY as possible! Once the Smart's sold I'll have the garage for workspace as a bonus.Lotek, Hovis and I work together - he's offered me the calipers if I need them, cheers. |
