Best value and performance is held to be the VX genuine ones, obtained on Trade Club prices at around £80 or so per axle set including pads.
Search 'Trade Club' to get the gist of whats meant.... :y

Its a general opinion on here that Vx pads and discs offer the best value for money. Esp with a trade club card. Something like £70 per axle. But others will confirm the price more accuractely no doubt.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the autobahnstormers site is http://www.autobahnstormers.co.uk - when I went to that link above I got some spammy search page! :y

Get Vx discs (set incl pads) - aftermarket ones will not last very long (bitter experience!) :y
This is one of the few items that must be replaced by genuine Vx parts.

Genuine Vx discs & pads £71.40 + VAT on TC from Vx main dealer - why pay more for non Vx parts :-? :-?

how about because he doesn't have a TC!
It's very easy to get blase about these things when you have a TC, forgetting the difference in prices for those that dont. ATE are an OEM level tier 1 supplier, and as such should be very bit as good as the VX part.

Agreed, apart from a TC is obtainable by all for 20 quid a year. You would just about save that on the disks/pads pack, never mind the rest of annual spend on oil,filters etc...

AS I already said .. andyc .. a senior member here will provide parts at trade club prices to those who don't have a TC ... just costs a bit in postage.. :)
TBH .. I can't see why any OOF member does NOT apply to ABS for a card .. the £20 is recouped on the first visit to the dealers.
Anyone can get a card .. ABS membership requires an INTEREST in the omega V6 .. all 4 pot and oil burning owners are naturally jealous of the smoothness and power of the V6 .. you are therefore "interested" in them .. thus entitled to ABS membership and a trade card ... :)
As an example .. I assume all OOF members do regular oil changes. Recommended oil is Vx 10W40
Engine Oil - Semi synthetic 10W40 SL/CF A3/B4
Part No. Retail Price Normal Trade Trade Club
5 litres 93165216 £25.65 £18.81 £10.77
so you save £15 on 5 litres of oil ... however .. there is also an offer on for TC holders ... 4 for the price of 3 ...
Semi synthetic 10W40
5 litre part number 93165216
Offer price for four cans £28.53
so you get £100 worth of oil for £30 !!! now that is a saving of 3 1/2 times the cost of the card !!
and we haven't started on filters, wipers, brake discs etc etc etc
Its a no-brainer to me :y :y :y
BTW .. all prices exclude VAT and have gone up slightly recently , but the principle remains :)

Believe oem brake disc suppliers for Omegas are Balo, ATE, and Brembo.

Exactly. Unless your buying performance kit, which is alot more anyway, a general consensus on here is
you cant beet the vx stuff for mileage quality and price. Most people have given bad reports on all else, from mintex to first line to name a phew.
It is the best advise, up to you if you take it tho.
The abs tc will be on your door mat very quickley. They dont mind people joining just for the card, your supporting a good club, you save money and vx get the business. Everyone s a winner.
For instance £33 for 20 litres of semi synth on tc,
Its more than twice that retail. But if you dont want cheap oil either then...

Entwood, I agree with all that you've said, and I myself have the ABS benefits of the TC thanks to this forum.
Hopefully more poeple will be savvy to this and to those who have TC's.
Perhaps it might be a good idea to put an idiots guide to TC in the OMEGA FAQ's as it keeps cropping up, as well as a nod to those who are willing to buy on your behalf with TC.
Thanks for the nod dbug - my friend who is a BMW specialist quoted me a TC price of 14 quid a side for those same ATE discs from a leading motorfactor!
Chris, of course you're right, once you have a TC why bother going elsewhere for regular consumables such as service items!

Hey that sounds good but what is an ABS card and where do I go to get one?
Actually I've just used my Nogan and figured it out.
The only thing it says on discount parts from VX dealers is "participating dealers" is this most of them?
Thanks

costs £20 a year and gets you a trade Club card which gives trade club prices at participating Vx dealers. My local dealers also give me full trade discount on non-TC items :)
edit seems like our posts crossed :)

There is a list of "participating dealers" on the Trade Club site. If unsure phone up your local stealer and ask :y
