Hiya, be gentle please! I've recently purchased a 2.7 diesel Ford Maverick, 1997. Love it already and its brilliant at towing the caravan.

Shocked at the price just quoted for brakes though (I'm a woman so bear with me). £285? Does that make sense? He said about 2,000 miles use from them still though.

Any help or avice would be much appreciated. Off now to have a look round here :)

if we are talking replacement pads only, £80-100 is about right for a garage or specialist if you aren't able to do it yourself. If its includes discs as well, its a bit closer - I think replacing the discs is a bit of a pig on these - anyone done them and can comment?
