I had my rears done recently. I bought genuine LR discs and pads (about £140 total I think) then paid a local (decent) garage £90 to fit them.

AAMOI, I've just watched the Powerful UK video on replacing front discs and they appeared to re-use the old caliper bolts. Similarly, posts here never seem to refer to replacing the caliper bolts. But the Topix manual says the following:

Quote:

NOTE: The 2 fixed carrier retaining bolts are pre-applied with a thread locking adhesive and must not be re-used during maintenance. New fixed carrier retaining bolts must be used and the original bolts discarded.

The reason that sometimes they supply new bolts is that they come with the blue locking compound already on them. If you buy a tube of loctite or similar you can use the old bolts again. I have done this for years on various cars and never had a problem. We did my son's Porsche 911 brakes last year and they wanted £5 per bolt, we just used Loctite and no problems. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Come on now, you should be able to this yourself. Brakes are an easy job, there is plenty of advice around on this forum and even if it takes all day (including tea and lunch breaks) where else will you earn £600/day after tax?

When you find out, can you let us know?
