Hello folks

cheers

Well I might be able to answer this as I had mine done yesterday!

Front pads cost £115 and rears £120.

I was having my 25,000 mile service yesterday (£350) so managed to negotiate the pads down to £95 and £100 (although not sure if I got a good deal or not).

Whilst there, had an interesting conversation with one of the servicing guys who said that if I turned off the VSA then I could extend the life of the pads further by up to 40,000. Personally I'm not going to go down that route.

Also came away with a lot of scratches after having some trim replaced (although as usual won't be able to prove it wasn't them). I think it's the norm now to come away with damage after a visit to the dealers.

thanks for the prices, but I wanted pads only, without the fitting (at least I'm assuming your prices are inclusive

)

as for turning off VSA? might save on the pads but the wear on the tyres would increase surely.

£66 Including postage.

Thanks.

thanks, will be contacting you in the next few days.

I was just coming back to say that the price was including labour. I don't have my receipt in front of me but I can let you know tomorrow.

emmaloula · 5th September 2007, 12:54

Checked the invoice and I got both front and rear pads for £65 each (and that's with a discount) so either I am being completely ripped off my by dealer or Holdcoft are offering a good deal!

valmiki · 5th September 2007, 13:44

thanks for the info, emmaloula, your dealer certainly knows how to charge(!).

I think Holdcroft prices are trade prices.

Most traders don't get the prices we give members on here.

45022-smg-e01 - £45.00
43022-smg-e01 - £35.00

Plus fitting obviously.

emmaloula · 5th September 2007, 16:04

Now I'm annoyed!! They've obviously seen me coming.

Is the price you've quoted the price you give everyone or just the members on here?

can I just say a big thanks to Holdcroft

I received the pads in the post yesterday, and I'm really impressed by the speed of the delivery and with the professionalism when I spoke to them on the phone.

thanks again Gareth
