Title: 2.6l Estate Front Pads & Discs.
Post by: shyboy on 12 March 2009, 14:01:42
Just been quoted Trade Club (Autobahnstormers) price of £72.83 + VAT for front discs and pads from Vx main dealer in Ormskirk. Seems good price to me. Any one agree?
Pads need replacing so I might as well invest in the disks as well, for upcoming MOT.

The price is correct!


Can you drive to Doncaster?

Thanks, Mark, much appreciated. I just felt you'd be the first to respond.
I'm very tempted to just change the pads for the MOT and have a tilt at the Ebay items. The right price would justify a trip to Doncaster. (Nothing else would. ;D). The sizes quoted seem to be the same as the 2.6l specs.

Yes they are....just check your rear discs are not vented (its on the change over point) if going for the Doncaster ones

You can use the pad set for the non-vented and just reuse the spring clip on the current pads for the rears ;)
