182 Rear Discs and pads

[fad]

I am in orbit with my Clio right now a four year old car barely made it through its MOT!

Right I need to replace the rear discs and pad which I knew was comming up but my local dealer want £199.52 + VAT for them including the pressed bearings. Is this the norm?

Also pads are priced at £57.93

Is Captain Hook tearing me a new arsehole or is this the going rate?

Just done the 36k service too which was a blow

Cheers

You can change the discs and pads yourself, there are several guides on the forum, and many threads about it....
£200+ is normal for the job, and yes they do mug you off...
Do it yourself and save a pretty penny, may be able to get the parts cheaper elsewhere too, e.g. eBay, eurocarparts.com etc etc....

Oh I will be doing the disc and pad change myself sod giving it to a stealer

Just wondering as the rear brakes are only have a slight effect on the overall braking whether going for a cheaper alternative would be better as I already have Brembos on the fronts.

Even Zimmer discs from GSF are £87.54 inc VAT

The rear pads are about £12-£13 for say some Mintex ones. You can get the renault ones from GSF which is the whole set with bearings and abs rings for a lot cheap than direct from Renault..

You are the man cheapest yet! Cheers!

Going to purchase the AMtex rear pads from GSFwhich are OE spec for £21 Bendix are £15 inc VAT

The rear discs with bearings works out 187.52 inc VAT from GSF which is only £12 cheaper than my local stealer.

Millwall4life as much as your input is appreciated it really doesnt help me unless you say where you got them from?

probably not really worth it but i got some grenstuff's for the rear to match the fronts for just over £30 iirc. I just spent best part of £300 on brakes on ebay - looked around and they were the cheepest i could find. The rear discs i gave you the link for - they were from GSF (found out when paying) also got some brembo max discs for the front at a bargin £90 delivered. Got some braided hoses too as i've herd good reviews. Carn't wait too get down to Birchdown for fitting in a couple of weeks
