Would be a good idea the loughborough ones not to far tbf

 

[h0tr0x]

been meaning to go to the Loughborough one for years!! it is a fair old treck though when your 10-15 miles the wrong side of Leicester

 

[JDUB 20V]

Should be in Leicester then

As stated Lions Garage behind Dysart Way is a decent garage. Worth taking your LC over to them!
I thought i was special with the only Red LCR in town Obvs not when i've spotted 2 other red ones and pimped out Black LCR with a private plate, sounds the dogs though!

Leicester meet sounds like a good idea. Don't think I'll make the L'brough meet this week.

I've had oil, oil filter & air filter change done. Next get coil packs checked and then change spark plugs.

Any idea's to the price on rear brake discs & pad change? Labour costs? What sets are you all using?

 

[QU4RESMA]

Labour costs at a decent garage should be no more than £30-£40 i'd say, I did mine myself last week and it took 3 hours or so... all in good fun! Standard brake discs and pads in the region of £24 from GSF car parts or similar...

 

[sami1]

Are the rear brakes discs all one size or do i need to do some measuring before i buy?

 

[QU4RESMA]

to make life easy GSF & Euro Car Parts allow you to enter your car reg and then lists the parts for your car specifically... Try that and see how you get on.

I can sort that if you want, as said earlier i do most if not all work to mine/friends cars bud

You paid £24 for LCR rear disks and pads, you sure??

No you have the LCR vented 256mm or non vented LC disks, not sure on prices though, pretty sure they wont be as cheap as above.

Easiest way, GSF on parker drive or Euro car parts freemans common.

Doesnt Sami have an LC only? Brake disk and pad set for the rear on GSF will quote as above £24.00 circa.

I paid over £150 for my LCR Drilled and Grooved Mintex stuff

Not sure what car he was referring to, but £24 for disks and pads sounds too cheap

 

[QU4RESMA]

Certainly does, maybe i havent had enough sleep and boredom at work has killed any brain cells i had left

Either way, he should be able to search on GSF website fairly easily
