Hello,i ordered rear discs for my 2001 MV6 2.6 auto today after having a good look at why my brakes were squealing from the rear(highlighted when turning corners without braking).Basically the newish pads are struggling to bed in to a less than flat disc surface with lips to either side of the contact area and the main contact surface area leaving a lot to be desired. i could have left everything to finally bed in over time but as i have just got the car i want it to be 100%.
I needed them tommorrow so rang europarts first,(didnt list them), VX leeds next,(£92+vat retail, £66.60+vat trade) and my local motorfactors in york last(had to order in,trade £135.00+vat).
Ordered the VX discs at £66.60+vat,cash on delivery tommorrow (was at a friends garage(AUTO ENGINEER) and can use the lift tommorrow
I was hoping they were going to be about £45 inc..
My engineer mate says i am well behind the times and thought £66.60+vat a good price for vented rears.
Incidentally i was quoted £12,£6 and £64.50 by VX Leeds(Evans Halshaw) for large gasket,small gasket and filter,respectiveley, for the autobox. Declined the filter as i have read on here somewhere they can be washed out.Cars done 71k and the gearbox works perfectly so changing it didnt seem so much a priority at that price.
