Ford Ka Front brake pads & discs - Darren21

Hi,

Can someone tell me how often these normally need replacing? I've done 40,000 miles in my ford ka and I know that they probably need doing know as I was told at my last service they needed it in another 5k miles.

Also how much is it likely to cost to have both done?

Thanks

Ford Ka Front brake pads & discs - rhubarb2

Every 2rd or 3rd pad change the discs will need replacing too..

The discs have a minimum thickness, and once they reach this, or are heavily scored or lipped, then they need changing..

As a rough guide, I reckon an independant garage is likely to
charge £150 all inclusive to do the job..

Phone around, and get a few quotes...
