Well time has come to replace all of mine & Vauxhall have quoted £535 + VAT... How does that compare you think? Or should I tackle this job myself?

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

Hi,
Wondering if any one has done this?
Fitting the front (and/or the rear) brembo discs/pads n calipers from the vxr on to the gtc?

I was wondering if it's been done & would you need to fit larger alloys afterwards?

Just a thought!

I have noticed a strange noise on my astra j. The noise sounds like when a brake disc lip may be slightly rubbing / touching the caliper. However, it is not this making the noise. The noise happens all the time. It doesnt change if i brake, turn left or right and it doesnt change with clutch or gear changes. If i push the car when it is off i can still hear it. Possibly from drive shaft area?? Has anyone else had this?

Hello

Euro car parts are doing up to 55% off today, so I'm after buying front and back discs and pads. I can get the lot for £156.46!

Problem is I'm unsure of the diameter of the front disc. Euro car parts say that there's 2 types 300mm and 321mm I've just measured mine and they're 280mm!

Hi,

Firstly, great forum with loads of useful info.

I need to replace the front discs and pads on my 2.0 CDTi. Eurocarparts list a few brands to choose from, one of which is Brembo. Is it worth upgrading to Brembo discs and pads with standard calipers? The price difference isn't much so I'm tempted but I don't know if braking or longevity will be improved - does anybody have any advice/experience?

Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased a 2010 Astra J 1.4 Turbo.
 Despite the vehicle being purchased from a dealership owned by my cousin, I have had nothing but trouble since.
The latest of a long list is that I had the front discs and pads replaced last weekend (despite later finding out they didn’t need doing in the first place). In any case, all was fine for about 10 minutes after leaving the workshop 4 days ago. Since this point I have been hearing an awful squealing noise coming from the front driver’s

Hey Guys

I have an Astra GTC 62 plate 1.7 diesel.

I need to replace rear brake pads and discs. I'm looking on Euro car parts and there are two types of discs and pads. Is there anyway of knowing which pads and discs are correct short of measuring it all and buying numerous variations?

Thanks. Any help appreciated

Hi,

I've already found the how2 for changing the front and rear pads, but no mention (that I can find) of also changing the rear discs on a 2.0 CDti with 292mm discs.

Anyone know the socket sizes I need, and what the torque settings are?

I have a rewind tool, and it was previously mentioned to me that both pistons need rotating back in clockwise. Is that correct?

Also, I have a traditional handbrake that is operated via a lever. Anything I need to know about before attempting to change the d
