Break Replacement
Hi All,

So VX have just told me that my rear breaks are 80% worn and suggest that I get both the pads and discs changed....they said they know I won't be using them for the work so have no reason to try and rip me off so just wondering if people reckon that the discs really do need changing or is this generally not something that's required on a  car with 26k miles?

National tyres quoted me 256 quid for the whole lot of work, discs, pads and fitting.

Thanks

Break Pads and Discs
Hi Guys [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

So I need some new rear break pads and discs and vauxhall have quoted me £262.20 for them. Seems a little steep so thought I'd look around myself.

Anyone either know which brand they use or which good brand I should be using if I'm looking to buy them myself and have them fitted?

Thanks

Third break light/High level break light
Hi, my third brake light has gone out, also known as the high level brake light on my 5 door Astra J (2012).

Break Kits
Hi all, I'm looking at getting some new breaks, pads and calipers. Mainly because I've got to get new discs and pads anyhow and I might as well go the whole hog. Also because I've just gotten the car 7 weeks back and will get a few year out of it, so the sooner I do it the more use ill have out of it. anyway...

I want to know if anyone can recommend a particular website which will give me the best value for money. 

Also if anyone has any recommendations of what i should buy. Its an 59 Astr

Having a break.
I would just like to let all members know I am going to be taking a break for a bit due to some personal issue's which I don't want to go into at this time.

This may mean there is a delay in processing threads / posts that fall into the moderation que.

This will also result in a delay in a response to any PM's that are sent me.

I'd like thank-you for your understanding at this time.

Rusty.
