What would be the going labour rate (approximately) for the fitting of brakes front and rear (ie. discs, callipers, pads and lines etc)

 

 

 

thanks

free....d.i.y

not a hard job m8y

can be done in a few hours and the service manual

Normally I would, but I really don't have the time mate. So was planning on just dropping it off at the garage in the morning, giving them a boot fall of parts and asking them to fit them

If you do mate, Remember to tell them not to push back on the Pistons in the callipers, the 300's tend to break the master cylinder seal. Take off the brake pipe first!

will do, cheers bud

I'd estimate about 4 hours work on that. At a typical non franchised garage, probably around £40 per hour plus VAT.

Guy be me would probably charge £60-80 max, could drop off when your down this way on the weekend?

That would work

 

Are you about tomorrow mate, I can drop your prop off while I'm at it.

 

I've been travelling up to Oakdale from hereford via Pontypool everyday for the last 3 weeks and will be down there next week as well if you're not about this weekend bud

I am around tomorrow for the prop. Next weekend would be betterb for yours as I know he is having a day off tomorrow so will see him Monday for you.

Shouldnt do, only if the seal is fooked anyway

Also don't forget that replacing calipers and lines will require the whole system to be bled - so remember that the ABS unit in the boot needs bleeding as well!

 

And factor in the cost of replacement fluid!
