MOT Shock
#1
My classic has just failed it's MOT needing front discs and pads. I was quoted £155 for the discs and £127 for the pads! Total bill of £398 for the work to be done.
I have priced up elsewhere and I am waiting for the results but should be quite a bit cheaper (I hope) The parts quoted were genuine Subaru bits. What a nightmare!

jeeze I paid £100 for ebc red stuff pads and they are supposed to be the dogs danglies for fast road and track.
You could get the discs cheaper from scoobysport, scoobymanaia, tsl and a few others.
here you go scoobyworld £169.00 for discs and they are a better one than the oem part.

The dealer quoted me £100 per disc, £150 ish for the prodrive pads (beleive they are 2500's) + fitting ... Came to £470 all in..
Sod that..
Went to Subaru4you and got the lot all done for under the £300 mark.. Plus the parts used were better (Black Diamond discs drilled & grooved, plus Mintex 1155 pads)
Sorted

Sorry to disagree but actually they can fail the discs and pads during MOT. If the disc surface is badly cracked or corroded then fail and if pads are worn below 1 mm then fail , tis in the MOT bible.But that aint helping Scoobydb
£380 + ...... Neebs it would take about an hour to fit and as long as you can use normal hand tools you would have no problem to fit yourself....save your self some money...having said that, if you are unsure about fitting them yourslf then let the garage carry the work out....or gimmie a shout LOL

I agree with Spooks, cracked discs, warped discs, corroded discs, pads worn too far down, they're all fails
I'm kinda glad I don't have a Scoob...I get genuine Ford pads for my festa for £8 That's for an axle set btw
