Yawn, can we stop believing £300 is a price to pay for brakes ...
You need to start living in the real world 306Maxi, this is what some dealers charge for their labour and list prices.
You may recall just over a month ago you ripped me apart (no surprise there!) for even suggesting a disc and pad change would cost £300 at a dealer.
As has been suggested, the OP is better going to a good independent, but as for advising to complain to Fiat, that will do no good, as the dealer will be using their list prices and suggested book time.

Bgunn, I bought the car because I liked the shape, but mainly because it was economical to run ! ..obviously not to repair

Keep your eyes peeled on that point.
Wow thanks everyone for your kind advices I was so upset yesterday about having to try and find £1500 :-( ...you have given me hope that I should be able to reduce this figure.

Radiator £453.42
Oil sump £483.96
Front brakes, pads and discs £302.39
Handbrake cable £113.45
Suspension turrets £100.99
