Where to get new brake pads fitted
My brake pads and maybe discs need changing before doing an MOT.
Was thinking to just take it direct to a dealership to get done as they can get my MOT done at the same time, how much should I expect to pay?
Would it be cheaper to go elsewhere? I'm based in London.
Was thinking about taking it to Mocom but don't know if they do MOTs

The dealers will have your pants down by your ankles if they supply the bits. 
Take a look at AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC or give me a call on 01462 488244. Always have some great deals on

but don't forget to use some copper slip on the rear of the pads to stop any squealing

How much is the would it cost to get front brakes and pads done at dealer?
What kind of saving would I make from taking it elsewhere?
Any suggestions, am in the London area.

Do you need a windback tool for the rears at all? I had no end of bother on my Clio 197 without one! If it's not required then I'll probably stick some red stuff on myself (without the swearing, cursing, stabbling myself with screwdrivers etc!!!)
