oldypigeonpopper Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) hello, i know not the usual question for shooting motors, but this was on the MOT as required on my sons motor, any motor technicians give an idea, you can buy parts cheaper online, or anyone in South Oxon help cheers ( Edited December 14, 2019 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 No idea of cost of long brake pipe renewal. I did discs and pads on a Mokka for £60 - Mintex - decent stuff. Also did one of my son's fleet of cars for their nurseries - Chevrolet Orlando - similar cost from Brakes International. Shame you aren't in North west - would have done them - freebie.

robbiep Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 If you are doing the work, then yes, buy cheaper parts online - eurocarparts often have decent discount codes, and you can look up prices for the parts on there too. If you are getting a garage to fit the parts, then get them to supply the parts too. Otherwise, if you get any problems with the parts then you're paying for the removal and refitting again, and you, the supplier and fitter are in a constant argument about the parts or the fitting being faulty, you trying to claim off someone for the additional labour costs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurs 14 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Depends a lot on where you go , main dealer or local one man band , at a guess with pattern parts it would be under £150 , check price of brake pipe they can be made up at the garage if it’s over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
