Hi folks,
Took my Ibiza ST in for a major service and cam belt change yesterday and obviously got the list of recommendations / advisories. I was hoping to get some advise on reading between the lines on what to action and what can wait:
1. Front brake pads 85-90% worn, discs lipped.
2. Rear brake pads 80-85% worn
3. Wishbone brushes cracking - was advised not to be worried about this as its not causing any issues.
4. Brake fluid needs replacing - advised to get this done when get brakes done.
5. TMS bottle expired - I have breakdown cover and have heard murmurings that this stuff isn't a great idea so perhaps not bother replacing?
So my main question is - should I get the brake pads done now and if so, just the front or get both done at the same time? What about the lipped discs - does this mean they need replacing too?
I was in a rush when collecting the car so didn't get chance to ask them but am conscious that, whilst I trust this place to an extent, its in their interests to recommend extra work.
Greatful for any thoughts.
