I had front and rear disks, pads and fluid done for £279 and that was pagids with Zimmerman disks. Did it myself though and it took the best part of 3 hours, wath random Carling drinking in between.

The labour for changing both set of pads, the front discs and the fluid was £99+ vat

It would probably have taken me the best part of a day to do that so it just wasn't worth it

oh and also I am a lazy ****** as you rightly point out
