I have changed the front discs and pads before, but is it as straight forward doing the rears. My query is whether the hand brake function makes them more awkward to do or is it a similar job??

Cheers

Did mine at the weekend and it's as easy as the fronts, (as long as you've got a clamp to push the piston back in ;)) Should take about 15 mins for both sides.

Nice one dunk, cheers :)

Depending on how old the discs are, you might have trouble getting the rear discs off. You will probably need to slacken off the handbrake first (adjuster in the centre console somewhere). There are also a couple of adjusters for the handbrake/drum mechanism as well, which you can access via a couple of small rubber grommets.
