how much are pads about 40 quid?
labour price which si reasonable

prob can do myself
but rather someone else do it to be honest

shoud;l i not drive the car at all??

Pads etc are pretty easy to do but only if you are confident about your ability to bleed the brake system if things should go tits up.

It may just be that you need to top up the brake fluid reservior (dammit, can never spell that word! Hang on the more I look at it the more it looks right. Who knows?)

Bottom line with brakes though is it you aren't confident about doing the job take it to a garage. Brakes are the best life saving equipment your car has

The brake light warning indicator on the dash says 'STOP', its hard to miss.

Generally the Mk1 eyeball is the best device to check the state of your brakes. A quick visual inspection is always the best.

Also generally rear brakes on front engined front wheel drive cars do next to naff all (which is why discs are a bit pointless at the back) and you will burn through several sets of front pads before the rear shoes need replacing.

If you are unsure then get a garage to do it, your brakes are the most important part of your car.

Also get them to flush through the brake fluid, it lasts about 2-3 years. Its not and never will be a 'fit and forget' part.
