Expected price?

Hi Guys,

After a bit of help, I need new disks and pads all round on my 197, how much should I be expecting to pay, just want to keep standard make etc.

Cheers
James.

I can find out tomorro at work but at a guess £40ish for pads and prob £70-80ish for discs

Not for a 197 - the front pads are about £90, the rear are £45. Front discs are about £100, rear about £70.

Then maybe 3 hours labour on top...

I got my front pads only done on Friday and that was nearly £130...

As Russ said tbh, Pads and discs arent cheap on the 197

Are you sure they all need doing? Mine is on 33k, and it's only had this first set of front pads and its awesome again... 5mm of 10mm left on the back, and no warping on any discs.

Yeah mate, had some heavy track action - rear ones especially practically no pads left

Rears should last a lifetime fella, they do next to no breaking!

It really is very simple on a 172. Imagine it'd be pretty similar on a 197? :S

Brembo HC's (£55), Mintex 1144's (£65) fitted in about 3 hours (inc. fannying ing around and wiping down my struts, wishbones and springs) and bled the system using an Eezibleed and Castrol Response Super DOT4 (£9) in another 1.5 hours (most fiddly bit!).

The rear discs are quite expensive (around £200+vat from Renault for the pair) as like the 172 they come with bearings and ABS sensors. The rear discs are also unique to the 197.

We would be happy to work out package deal for you.

David.
