Been quoted £260 for new front brake pads and discs!
Front left brake pads gone and the disc, been quoted £260 fitted as they come in a set. Thing is if I only need front left side is there anyway I can get just 1 pad and disc for the left side and get it fitted?
Thanks guys
Oh and where is the snow this year, after 4 years of owning a crap in the snow 350z I bought this for the snow and sods law no snow.

same answer as your PM
These are fine (£75 kits) - sold about 180 of these kits last year on the forum. The other kits are more of a premium brand with closer to OEM braking efficiencies.Paul Redding

Local independent garage round here will fit self-supply disks and pads for £20 so it's worth asking around once you've bought them if you don't want to fit yourself.

Mine were shot like yours - turned out to be a seized slider.
As both my discs were worn too I went for the AF V8 brake upgrade.
A massive improvement in stopping power.
Nearly broke my nose on the windscreen first time out!!
Very competitively priced and well worth it.All things shipping, storage, transport. UK and worldwide.

Cheers guys sorted it now you saved me over £100.
Only thing now is I need 4 new tyres, or 2nd hand ones that have decent tread, mine have 2mm left on them.

I'd be very wary of 2nd hand tyres, there could be unseen damage you won't know about until they go pop, normally at motorway speeds in the outside lane.

Do the v8 upgrade discs fit straight on without the dust cover bing reshaped? Or is there enough clearance?Current - Range Rover TDV8 2007 HSE.
