Title: Trade Card - front disc and pad set
Post by: pscocoa on 03 March 2012, 12:08:22
Just paid £81.62 plus VAT for part V0093175466 - is this the correct VX less trade card discount price please? Paid £9.28 + Vat for sensor unit as well.

Got the sensor cheap, TC shows £9.55 + vat, brake kit is spot on

Thanks guys - a bit miffed that this job has needed to be done as car does little mileage these days- will have to check back on last time but does not seem too long ago.

A dilemma now as to whether to keep Omega or not - cam belt due in October with just 20000 miles on since new engine, may need to get dual branch exhaust made - temporary repair is still holding.

But also using £50 of petrol a week to do 12 miles a day to Farnborough station and back. I will probably get over my bout of logic and stick with it no doubt after I've been to the pub later.

I think low mileage does do the cars any favours.

My MV6 suffered badly when I used the tractor as my daily drive, both cosmetically and mechanically.

TBE, a relatively low mileage Elite, I've had for 18months, and still fighting to get it up to scratch.

just checked - front pads and discs done last in 2007 and 29000 miles ago. This was before I got ABS card and paid at that time £96 for the installation kit (discs and pads - front)

Yeah, everything jumped up 2 or 3 years ago :(
