Rear discs and pads

[katbloke]

Just had new discs and pads fitted to rear and put new bearings in too rather than try and press the old ones out £120 fitted by a mech mate, sound a good price?? old ones were rusty on outer edge and was advised that if rear discs should ever start to go rusty on the outer edge of disc again try driving with handbrake on a cpl of clicks this should rectify it, makes sense to me anyone else heard of doing this coz its a new one on me.

Yeah, was the £120 purley labour?

TBH its a 2 hours jobs, tops providing everythign comes off.

Yeah thats how i bedded mine in, pull the handbrake on and hold it so its slowing the car down, whiel accleerating, for about 20 secs, then drive with ti off the let the discs cool down for a few mins and repeat, dont' do it in slipery conditions or round corners though, lol

Not bad, from GSf brembo discs about £40 each, bearings £15 each, pads £30....so £85 for parts, if they used Brembo discs, so say £50 labour, not too bad
