Coils and brakes

[Prirmose1991]

Hi All,
Had my MOT yesterday on my Clio 172 CUP, which thankfully passed.

Had a few advisories though;
- Front and Rear coils are corroding and need replacing
- Front and rear brake discs need replacing

I was quoted around £1158 for the parts and fitting from the garage. I was wondering if anyone knew if this was about the correct price for this sort of work and if anyone knows of a better way of doing it?

Cheers.

Where are you from?

At that price a handy local member could fit you the parts... You can get eibach or cooksports for £150 and a full set of discs and pads all round for similar..

I could do that work and save you a fortune.. If only suggest a full tracking after and the replacement of suspension rubbers etc, which is possibly going add more to the parts bill from anyone that does the work..

As Dave said, eibach or cooksport springs and get some brembo HC brake discs, save yourself a fortune and increase the performance at the same time.

that's got to be either a halfords or quick fit mot.

That's not the correct wording for a mot advisory
How does he know the coils need replacing has he got x-ray eyes and can see the future.
You can not fail brake discs on condition any more as long as they work in the brake rollers its a pass.

Front and Rear coils are corroding and need replacing
- Front and rear brake discs need replacing

Change them yourself and save yourself £800.

Or get someone on get to do it for a bit of £ as they certainly won't charge anywhere near as much as your original quote.

Do they actually need doing?
