Brakes at National Tyres

Yeah... sure... Whatever...

So your brake discs don't rust onto the hub because, what, you dismantle your car every six months?

you know, things like steering, or suspension, and I don't like the idea of whacking seven sorts of s*it out of a brake disc like that... of course, you probably drive over pot holes "Duh, it won't damage my car", only the wheel.

Anyhow, you're obviously some sort of troll

BMWs do - but at about half or one third the rate of the fronts. So say somewhere round about 80,000 miles or so.

It depends on the car, but on mine I'd say changing the pads is actually more complicated than changing the discs. Although of course you have to effectively remove the pads before you can get at the disc.

Some cars have the discs fixed to the back of the hub, and on FWD types can be a major job to change.

Volvos also, I reckon it's 40k fronts and 60k rears with my driving pattern (if you can put up with a bit of vibration - the fronts don't like repeated heavy braking and so I've gone to Brembo parts for them which are much better)

I remember on the BMW 3yr servicing deal they were pushing a while back it included wipers every year and one full set of discs and pads.

I had the same problem on my Xantia I could not get the pads out and as the piston has to be turned to go back in, I found a good way to sort the lip out I used an angle grinder. National tyres have a few good offers you can get a fully synthetic oil and filter change done for £21 not a bad price.

The fact that you can't do a simple job of changing discs and got ripped off on the price of them, says a lot for your 'experience'
