Technical Price on Brakes

Yep, that's what I'd do

...I was kinda hoping some bright spark would reply with a dealer name, not just agree with me!!

:idea: ...but then again Westover's is only going to be a little more than an hours drive away - £40ish in petrol there and back - approx total cost £175!

...or am I now being waaaaaaaaaay to frackin lazy??!!

Ah! got it now Dogs, you wanted us to phone around for you

So is that Westover POOLE (who did my cam belt ) ?

I'm amazed you can't find any dealer nearer to Bracknell.

...I'm not that lazy.

Rang a couple of local main dealers and explained what I wanted, all of them quoted around the £300 mark, then when I said I wanted it done under FiatCare they all said they'd have to check and get back to me, the best price I had after checking was the £300 - 20% discount.

Argo, I have to ask where you got the price of £135 from - if it was Westover Poole, then it's obviously (to my lazy arse self) going to be worth a trip there.

EBAY!!... i know a lot of people have issues it seems but that is because it is not fun talking talking about successful purchases in forums!

I bought mintex pads and discs and they arrived 4 days ago. Got both front and rear pads and discs for under £130 including postage. Very happy, though I also bought some OMP pads (F+R) from ebay for £80 for track racing and found that they work better on the standard discs ... not sure why but cant complain.

But then that would involve me spending an afternoon getting greasy - no probs in that - just wanted someone else to do it all for me

that is a good point... you will have awesome brakes though!

I just rang them for you and it's real bad news

All that FiatCare now offer are the 3 reduced price services.

The cam belt and front brake disc offers are now all finished

Looks like I'll be getting greasy this weekend!

Cheers Arg - even if you did kinda fail!
