    Do you actually know which of the myriad of claims your many identities have told us are real and which are complete fabrication?

    The one thing that's consistent and credible is how quickly and easily recognisable your posting style is. You don't even have the wit to vary that.

    Back to the original point. Is £280 plus VAT expensive for both rear discs and pads? This price also includes brake fluid change.

    Does it make a difference whether I use OEM discs and pads or aftermarket discs/pads from Eurocarparts? Shall I go for a particular brand like Pagid or Eicher?

    Reap what you sow, DM, reap what you sow.
  • DM, you have consistently spoiled this forum with one trolling post after another and multiple identities, for all we know multiple personalities.

    We couldn't give a tuppennies what rubbish parts you want to fit to your fictional Aldi, Eicher pads are the business pressed between the thighs of tanned Brazilian ballet dancers i shouldn't wonder.

    The imaginary quote is odd anyway, how are they quoting you without parts.

    More to the point why am i posting this when i could be doing something useful.

    The quote already includes the parts that the garage will supply. I don't know where they'll get it from, most likely eurocarparts I'd assume.

    Does the quote include fixing the binding caliper?

    Syphoning the oil? May as well not bother at all.

    Not to mention a fluid change with pads & discs.

    Look, DM, it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to have a quick google for the price of the parts, then work out that it's probably an hour's labour, so what's their hourly rate?

    No, I don't think it does. Will need to double check that.

    From my calculation (using ECP) it's £65/hour plus VAT.
