you must cange them in pairs (including pads)

new discs are around £50 (pair) new pads around £15 (front set)

cheers matey

ring GSF for the parts (or a local motorstore), avoid renault and halfords

Halfords £50 of new disks.
£15~17 for pads
Nothing wrong with halfords they just difficult someotimes as many employees dont have a clue what there on about.
