how much to have brakes replaced?

[chris285]

how much to replace a 99 plate 1.4 brakes, would have to be done at a garage as i can't do myself as one of the nuts is gone and i don't have the tools to do this myself or the skill

so anyone know roughly how much it would cost to have disks+pads changed? also how much for rear drums and shoes on top as well as a rough guess?

pads, £15
discs, £30
labour, £35 - then add VAT to all that

rear drums are likely OK (I don't think I ever changed the pads in the drums in 117k)

I paid about £200 to have all the brakes replaced on my old 1.4 when I was at Uni, by a main dealer

You can pick up all the bits yourself from GSF/ECP for about £80 I reckon, and then get somewhere to fit them....
