Typical labour cost to change rear discs and pads

[manicmidlander]

Hi, anybody had their rear pads and discs changed on a 182 recently ? If so what were you charged in labour. Renault wanted £260 to supply and fit them. Once I'd stopped laughing at them I ordered genuine discs and pads and now I'm just looking for somebody to fit them. I know I could / should do them myself but .......

I'm in Nottingham if anybody knows anybody reliable

A few pints to a mate that can do it. Cheapest way tbh.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

Its an hours labour tops imo.

I don't think thats a bad price for Renault actually.

 

[manicmidlander]

Well, at that price Renault's labour rate works out at £135 per hour. I bought the discs and pads from Renault Wolverhampton for £125 delivered to me.

DIY = free.

Seriously not a difficult job. There is a guide on here somewhere.

 

[caister]

Is easy as long as you have a torque wrench.

I Think the labour rate at Renault is around £80ph

 

[Alastair.]

i think £260 really isnt that bad supplied and fitted

Sorry to hijack

How much would you expect to pay to completely renew the brake fluid?

Really easy to do if you follow the guide on here

dont forget the wheel bearings are pressed into the disks, or do new renault disks come with bearings?

Around £40 at an independant

Renault disks come pressed I'd say to give Ryan at NWPerformance a pm about doing them, he supplied and fitted my disks and pads for around £120-30ish IIRc

 

[maynard]

About an hour to do, most places will charge £40-50, local independant's that is.

 

[manicmidlander]

£50 is the figure I was looking for too. Left a message with my local garage and we'll see what he says. Any more than that means it's worth investing in a torque wrench and I'll try it myself.
