yea true, but its 2 cold 4 me 2 do it, plus i got 5 years warrenty from kwik fit,

Ah fair enough, not many places round here that I would trust with my car.

But as said earlier you can pick up the pads and disks at a decent price from a motor factors and its a really simple job to do.

Jack it up, take the caliper guide bolts out remove the caliper, undo the phillips headed srew that holds the disk to the hub, take the disk off and swap it, replace the screw, on the pads they just slide out of the caliper and you slide new ones back in remembering to put some copper grease on the back of them to stop squeeling.

nope my m8 works in kwik fit so he done it

i bet they said the rears are gone too, they take advantage of people not in the know.

should have done it yourself, can get discs for about 20 quid, pads for 15 and 45 mins to change both sides.

yea my brakes changing! off 2 kwik fit it think!

they will vibrate or judder and squeel under heavy breaking, but if you've really neglected them there will be a metal agianst metal grinding noise (not funny) where the discs are in contact with the metal of the pad.
its not hard to check them if you've got a jack

how u know when ur brakes need changing? do they make a noise?
