artscot79 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 yeah i figured the price was excessive as well to say the least especially as thats only the front i was qouted for the previous owner opted for drums on the rear for some reason i reckon ill be going for the mintex then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I just bought genuine rear discs and pads for the mondeo, £100 all in! where they get £277 for front discs and pads from, who knows. I think the genuine discs and pads for the front of mine are about £110, probably cheaper for yours so thats £170/£180 for fitting? :( hope you told them to ram it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSussex Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 2 years ago on my Mondeo, I had my front discs and pads + timing belt and pulleys replaced by my local garage = £338. I don’t have the breakdown now of the costs but I guess £200 for the timing belt and the rest for the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 thanks guys i ordered these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-1-6-Ti-VCT-Mk2-05-08-Mintex-Front-Brake-Pads-Discs-MDK0217-/110825980121?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19cdbe40d9 and yes stef i told them to ram it. the guy actually said if i wasnt happy with the price i could speak to the manager i did and the wonder of smartphones came through, i simply went to my eBay where i had bookmarked the above and showed him the response wa we cant do the parts at that price so i told him thats strange that its £77 each per disk when i know fords oem disks are around £60 per pair not much said after that surprisingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
