Passed MOT, but............

Good one that it passed Bob!

Check, or perhaps somebody on here will know, if you can get the full Vx rear disc and pad set in one kit as you can with the front.  With TC could work out a bit cheaper?

Nope unfortunately.

You can for some others like Vectra's, but not the omega 

I wonder why.    Robbing whatsits or what!!

Quite agree, was suprised when I couldnt after prevously buying a vectra set.


That said, praise where its due for tradeclub in the 1st place, saves us a lot of money

My garage will probably get genuine VX as they have TC card and they won't mark up by much, just a bit for delivery. Still, a kit would have been preferrable - as you said Lizzie, robbing whatsits!

have you tried euro car parts in Watford can get ate discs and pads from them as well as a "budget brand"have used these on all sorts from fiats to bmw and lexus models and had not problems from any of them.

Car went in yesterday for MOT, new rear tyre (needed for MOT) and aircon service at a cost of £200 which wasn't too bad. Passed MOT but with 2 advisories that I need new rear discs and pads which ain't going to be cheap plus I've just had to buy a new coolant tank (thanks to Mike Dundee for getting me one on TC ) due to faulty coolant level sensor, so will be getting the garage to do that as well which will also mean new coolant. Now I've just noticed I'm getting a bit of reverberation from the exhaust when de-accelerating which probably means baffles are on the way out. Bloody bills are starting to rack up!

Bring the tank with you at the weekend Bob, I'm sure our Tony will be only too happy to change it for you.

Mike Dundee will be bringing it to the meet so that'll be great if Tony can do it for me. Will I need to get coolant or can he save and re-use the coolant as mentioned earlier in this thread by LFF64? Extra burgers for Tony then!!

There will probably be a bit of spillage but I'd guess a litre of coolant as a top up should be plenty.
