Yeah, I'm deliberating on whether to get a new set of discs as well. I can get a full set of genuine discs and pads for £50 from eBay. The car has only done 14k miles, but apparently they eat brake pads.

What's the price of getting the discs machined over there? Usually you can machine the discs instead of replacing as long as they aren't too thin.

Not something I've ever looked at personally, I just replace the discs.

I ended up getting them from a different place, as the ones in the eBay link aren't for Amy's specific model, and the ones she needed were £45 from that seller.

Still not a bad price at all.

Yeah, can't argue at £29 for a genuine set.

Pads have only turned up today! I wanted to fit them on Wednesday or Thursday as I was off work. Going to have to wait until some point next week now

Piece of piss to replace, just shitty weather for it. They were shot as well. The car has only done 14,000 miles!
